To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much funding his Department has provided to each charity involved in the rehabilitation of veterans of the armed forces in (a) each year since 2010 and (b) 2014 to date.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much funding his Department has provided to each charity involved in the rehabilitation of veterans of the armed forces in (a) each year since 2010 and (b) 2014 to date.
The Department has not provided any direct funding for Service Charities to provide rehabilitation services to veterans of the armed forces.
However, since 2010 the Department has invested over £22.5 million to improve both mental and physical health services for veterans and used additional funding from LIBOR fines to banks to broaden the range of services available, including £2 million to Combat Stress to provide specific services for those veterans with alcohol problems and £2.7 million to help for Heroes for their Hidden Wounds programme providing mental health support for veterans.

Under current arrangements clinicians can prescribe for their patients the medicine which best meets their clinical needs, including medicines outside their licensed indications. The Bill proposes changes to these arrangements by introducing, for the first time, a duty to apply for a licence when a new indication for an off-patent drug becomes apparent. We are concerned this will carry a message that off-label prescribing is not allowed without a licence and thus end the current flexibility that allows clinicians to make their patients’ needs their first concern.
