Well, we’ve done much so far: £585,000 per annum is provided to Veterans’ NHS Wales, a unique service, the only one of its kind in the UK. We know that over 2,900 referrals have been received in that time. Service personnel in need of particular specialist healthcare can access the fast-track referral pathway—that’s a joint initiative between the Defence Medical Services and NHS Wales that prioritises access to secondary care, and that ensures that serving members of the armed forces are not disadvantaged by their service and have the same standard of access to healthcare as that received by any other resident in Wales.
