Injured British veterans often live with lifelong physical and psychological conditions caused by service. NHS pathways can involve long waits and limited specialist care. We think guaranteed private healthcare would provide timely, expert treatment and fulfil the nation’s duty of care.

Provide funding for Veterans to remain in care homes
We call on the Government to create a fund to ensure that Veterans in Care Homes are not forced to change homes when their own private funding runs out. This can be especially hard for Veterans living with Dementia
Fund free social care for all disabled people on the NHS
Pass a law which funds free social care on the NHS for all disabled people. We believe it’s wrong that we have to pay a certain amount to the local council despite care costs being so high for many.
Fund the NHS to provide all services free at the point of use
We demand the Government to provide NHS funding to ensure all services are free to all and are based on clinical need rather than an individual’s ability to pay. We want the NHS to be free at the point of use for all for any medical, mental, age-related, optician and dental services.
Provide funding to partially cover costs of private healthcare
Provide funding for any NHS patients to access private treatments for procedures that the NHS typically covers, covering the costs equivalent to what the NHS would normally pay if the treatment were conducted through the NHS. Patients would then only need to cover the difference in cost.
Fund free NHS dental treatment for injuries from domestic abuse or violence
The Government should provide dedicated funding and require the NHS to provide for free any dental treatment needed because of injuries caused by domestic abuse or violent assault, and issue clear national guidance stating that such injuries be recognised as medical and trauma-related, not cosmetic.
