The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference Answer of 9 February 2026 to Question HL14107, whether his Department has plans to assess the health needs of male veterans and service personnel in particular.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

Veterans have access to all National Health Services across the United Kingdom and male veterans will benefit from the implementation of the Men’s Health Strategy. In addition, NHS England has introduced several bespoke services to improve healthcare support available to veterans. This includes Op RESTORE, Op COURAGE, and Op NOVA.

The health of service personnel is the responsibility of the Defence Medical Services.
