N2 - In summary, the NIVHWS seeks to
identify the current and future health and wellbeing needs of the veteran population in NI, outline the
system of support currently available to NI veterans, and identify ways in which this may be optimised.
Further details of the various aims of the NIVHWS can be found in the full report corresponding to this
executive summary. The full report is the first of a series of outputs from the NIVHWS, the purpose of
which is three-fold:
• Scope existing mental health and support arrangements and channels of communication between the
Ministry of Defence (MOD) and other authorities, including charities;
• Scope existing service provision, identify obstacles to such provision and any gaps or unnecessary
duplication; and
• Recommend how existing mechanisms to underpin support to veterans might be improved, including
relationships with statutory bodies, and suggest new mechanisms to be developed.
Using both empirical and secondary data, informed by in-depth stakeholder engagement at all stages of
development, the report provides the first comprehensive overview of services and support1
available to
veterans living in NI (see Pozo & Walker, 2014). It frames these services with an outline of the relevant
legislation and policy, and the social and political context
