Rejected petition Ask the Government to fund a mental health scheme for the British Army

We want Parliament to discuss the ongoing issue with regard to the funding, support, and recognition of mental health in the British Army. Once they are more aware of the statistics and the lack of funding, we would like them to establish a separate mental health fund specifically for the Army

More details

The British Army has been chronically underfunded for years. Once they receive their budget there is little left over for mental health concerns. The Government should show how much they respect our forces by creating a separate mental health scheme for soldiers.
