Hospitals

“ Priority in the NHS was initially granted to veterans in receipt of a War Pension, but was extended to all veterans with a Service-related health condition on 1 January 2008. Priority treatment applies to both in- and out-patient treatment and physical and mental health issues, as long as the condition developed as a result of Service. Priority should be given to veterans unless there is an emergency case or another case demands clinical priority. Priority treatment also entitles veterans to equipment such as hearing aids and free prescriptions. “
