The
NHS in England provides healthcare services for families of serving
personnel (regular and reserve) who have registered with an NHS GP
practice and the families of veterans.
Whilst most armed forces
families enjoy healthy lives, the unique circumstances of military life
can cause pressure for some, and affect an individual’s health and
wellbeing. This is in addition to moving home every few years, which can
make accessing the NHS difficult.
These factors can affect the
lives of armed forces families, creating a difficult situation for them.
We want to help change this, so armed forces families are able to
access local NHS services easily in all parts of England. We also want
to ensure that they can get care and support from clinicians and people
who understand their health and wellbeing needs.
This questionnaire is an opportunity for people and organisations to share their views on how we can do this.
