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.
How a nation treats those who have been injured and wounded whilst in its service is a true test of its civilised values; unfortunately the UK does not perform at all well in this respect.

It's a worthy cause. My father was a major in the REME & RE and I display his medals and cap proudly in a glass display cabinet.

Meant to say, I've signed it :-)

Irrelevant matter: I now moderate comments because I had one or two spurious and disparaging comments in tone about a posting some time ago. I may lift the moderation shortly. Basically I publish everything - I don't expect folks to agree with everything I gabber about!
Got you Tim, I've done the same from time to time, although I had a bigger problem with quite sexually explicit spammers---not quite the audience I was aiming at!!
Great to see this highlighted.
