To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department has taken to ensure the healthcare chapter of the Armed Forces Covenant has been implemented.

Ben Gummer

The Department and NHS England are committed to meeting the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and have established a number of services specifically tailored to meet the needs and requirements of the armed forces community. There are regular communications on the Covenant commitment to National Health Service trusts, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and health professionals.

As set out in the NHS Mandate for England CCGsare responsible for general healthcare for veterans and for the delivery of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant. NHS England assuresCCGs’ delivery of their commitments and many CCGs are joint signatories to their local community covenants.

The NHS Constitution has recently been updated to strengthen this accountability by stating that ‘the NHS will ensure that in line with the Armed Forces Covenant, those in the armed forces, reservists, their families and veterans are not disadvantaged in accessing health services in the area they reside.’

The Department and the NHS in England are held to account by the Ministry of Defence and UK Departments of Health Partnership Board and the Armed Forces Covenant Reference Group.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been admitted to hospital with malnutrition in each of the last five years.

Jane Ellison

The information is not available in the format requested, however the Health and Social Care Information Centre has provided a count of finished admission episodes (FAEs)¹ with a primary diagnosis² of malnutrition in England for 2009-10 to 2013-14.

Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period. This information is provided in the following table:

Year	FAEs
2009-10	465
2010-11	531
2011-12	652
2012-13	667
2013-14	621

Notes:

¹ An FAE is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year in which the admission episode finishes.

² The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episode Statistics data set and provides the main reason why the patient was admitted to hospital.
