Mr. McNamara
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what records are kept by his Department of allegations concerning (a) physical and (b) mental health injuries suffered by former members of the armed forces as a result of their service. [80724]
Mr. Doug Henderson
My Department does not keep records of allegations of physical or mental health injuries suffered by former members of the Armed Forces attributable to their service. However, reported cases of injury are kept on personal medical records of serving members of the HM Forces. My Department also maintains records of common law claims for compensation from existing and former members of the Armed Forces concerning allegations of physical and mental injuries attributable to their Service.
