SAMA82 Petitions Government for Military & Veterans Hospital

Denzil Connick is Secretary & co-founder The South Atlantic Medal Association [SAMA82 (South East)], a veterans support group. He is an ex-paratrooper, who lost a leg in the Falklands War.

Quote:

With the growing numbers of wounded personnel repatriated to the UK and with continued growth in medically discharged personnel since the Falklands war to current conflicts and operations, our service men & women and veterans of previous operational service are owed the best medical care possible. The existing facilities are falling short and the NHS are not meeting the needs of veterans who still need treatment for their service related conditions. A dedicated Military & Veterans Hospital will greatly help resolve this National scandal since the complete closure of our military hospitals that has proved to be total folly.

Re: SAMA82 Petitions Government for Military & Veterans Hospital

Just got some feedback via e-mail from number 10

Quote:

Following our response to the e-petition â€œWe the undersigned petition the
Prime Minister to create a dedicated Military & Veterans Hospital within
the UKâ€� on 24 September 2008, we received feedback from some signatories
on the issue of hospital security.

We can assure you that the security of our personnel admitted as
in-patients is of the highest priority and remains under constant review.
Each NHS Trust has overall security responsibility for the safety of all
its patients. The main trauma ward at Selly Oak hospital has a swipe card
door lock system, and we have good liaison arrangements in place between
the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, the hospital, Special Branch and the
local police. Similar liaison takes place at the other hospitals hosting
Ministry of Defence Hospital Units, and any MOD concerns will be discussed
with the appropriate Trust security department.

Prime Minister's Office
