The new Office of Veterans’ Affairs minister, Johnny Mercer MP, has written an open letter to veterans and announces a £5m fund for innovative veteran healthcare treatments.

“I want to make the UK the best place in the world to be a veteran.  That means ensuring we do all we can to help ensure better health and employment outcomes for those who have sacrificed so much on our behalf.”
