Let me turn to veterans’ support. The move from military to civilian life is a difficult passage for some, and it should not be made harder by administrative failure. New clause 11 would ensure that personnel leaving service receive a complete copy of their medical records within one month of discharge, with the option for direct transfer to civilian health providers. That reflects a basic duty of care, and it really should not be complex. For someone leaving with physical injuries, trauma or a history that civilian doctors need to understand, a delayed or incomplete medical record can be more than just a bureaucratic inconvenience; it can be a genuine barrier to treatment.
