When I worked as a Staff Nurse in our local General Hospital back in the 80s there was a ward solely for the use of hospital staff who needed treatment. Having met staff from Haslar Royal Naval Hospital I was very impressed by their treatment of patients and their understanding and treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I know during and after the Falklands War many were successfully treated there.

This government owes a duty of care to its armed forces and yes they should be treated differently from Joe Public, in Hospitals staffed by Dr's and Nurses who can understand the traumas they have been through .
