I would suggest that's probably more for the Ministry of Defence than the Service Personnel & Veterans Agency to answer, as the Service Personnel & Veterans Agency, or SPVA, is part of the MOD rather than the department I work for, the Department of Health. Certainly, as a government department that has to have a close working relationship with the Ministry of Defence, I also have a close working relationship with the SPVA.
It does provide challenges because you're like an essential government arm of the organization, which is the Ministry of Defence, then you have a service delivery arm, the SPVA, who are providing advice to individual veterans on welfare and other issues. I know that others have commented on this within the U.K. and have suggested, for example, there might be a veterans' champion elsewhere within government, perhaps a cabinet office or elsewhere. It's not for me to comment on that, but I would say that the SPVA are well regarded and I know work very well with the service charities and others in delivering their services.
I suppose in some ways you might argue, perhaps, there's some similarity in the way in which we have the Department of Health, here in Whitehall, working through ministers, then you have a separate organization, which is NHS England, actually providing the health services for the population.
