The Nation's Commitment

The Government asked all departments what more could, and should, be done to demonstrate commitment to the armed forces and gratitude for their service and sacrifice. This paper, "The Nation's Commitment: Cross-Government Support to our Armed Forces, their Families and Veterans (Cm. 7424)", is the result of that process. The paper is designed to end any disadvantage that armed service imposes on the forces, their families, and the veterans, particularly concerning movement around the country or the world. It also sets out how to better support and recognise those who have been wounded in service.The paper covers: The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme; health - including hospital and rehabilitation facilities, mental health services and veterans' needs; housing; education and skills; transport - concessionary bus travel for service personnel and blue badge entitlement for disabled veterans; support for families - childcare provision, support for bereaved families, and benefits; building careers; Foreign and Commonwealth Office personnel; and, pay.
