Select Committee on Defence Written Evidence


Policy and provision of physical health issues

  It is our policy that the Defence Medical Services (DMS) provides a primary care medical and dental service comparable to that provided by the NHS. Secondary (hospital) care is provided to Service personnel either at MoD Hospital Units, which are based at six NHS Hospital Trusts across the UK, or at other NHS hospital trusts, as appropriate. For personnel who have been injured, the DMS has regional rehabilitation facilities around the country, and a larger facility at DMRC Headley Court.
