Answer

This is a Government of service that will always stand up for those who serve our country. I am working across Government and with civil society to ensure veterans, including those in Newcastle-under-Lyme, get access to the health, housing, employment and other support they need


A range of support is in place to help veterans access services, including an accreditation scheme for NHS Trusts and Primary Care Networks across England to ensure they can best support veterans access health care; Government funded housing support for veterans; Armed Forces Champions across the UK’s Job Centre Plus network to help support members of the armed forces community into work; and the veterans’ railcard offering discounts on most rail travel.
