Motion Text

That this House notes that Scotland is leading the way in helping ex-servicemen and servicewomen rebuild their lives as civilians; welcomes the establishment of a dedicated veterans' hub which will help those leaving the armed forces to access specialist help and support to get into work, find a home and increase their wellbeing; understands that this is the first time in the UK that specialist help and advice has been brought under one roof for veterans and their families; and believes that this is an excellent example of the Scottish government, Ministry of Defence, NHS and veteran charities all working together to deliver services that will improve the lives of veterans in Scotland.
