The formation of Defence Primary Healthcare means that SG will now
deliver end-to-end clinical care in the firm base and the permanent
bases overseas
•More efficient use of personnel & resources;
•Quicker implementation of healthcare policy & Defence
change;
•Better governance and performance management;
•Better links with the NHS to manage access to secondary
care;
•More attractive employer for clinicians and administrative
staff.
Defence Primary Healthcare - Implications
Key Benefits
Surgeon General
Primary Care
1 Apr 13 – Defence Primary Healthcare Care
SG now directly accountable for tri-Service primary
care delivery with budget
DMS legislated to provide primary care
Occupational Primary Care Service
• Return to duty philosophy
Surgeon General
Defence Medical Rehabilitation
Programme Tiered approach – Multidisciplinary occupational approach
Tier 1 – Primary Care Rehabilitative Facility (PCRF)
Tier 2 – Regional Rehabilitation Unit (RRU)
• 16 in UK
• Function:
– Medical Injury Assessment Clinic (MIAC)
– Group Treatment capability
Tier 3 – Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC)
• Complex Trauma
• Musculoskeletal
• Neuro
Surgeon General
The Future – Defence National Rehabilitation Centre
A decision on a Defence National Rehabilitation Centre to
meet future UK rehabilitation needs is likely this year
•With a Defence element at its core, it would replace Headley Court
•A campaign to raise £300M is being led by the Duke of Westminster
•The Duke has already acquired a site – Stanford Hall in the Midlands
•An announcement is likely once £200M has been raised (possibly later in 2013)
•If confirmed, the intention would be to open the Defence element in 2017
Surgeon General
Defence Mental Health
Occupational Community based service
Departments of Community Mental Health (DCMHs)
• Multidisciplinary – Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists, Mental Health nurses & social workers
• 13 in UK
Minimal requirement for in-patient capability
• NHS contracted service with South Staffs consortium

Surgeon General
Secondary Care
NHS Provision under our entitled access to
secondary care
• Vast majority for provided under NHS routine access
driven by clinical need
• Majority of elective care is outpatient or day case
• Contract for rapid access to Imaging & Operative
orthopaedic care
Surgeon General
Strategic Challenges – Secondary Care Commissioning
We need to resolve uncertainty about funding to meet the secondary
care needs of Service personnel under new NHS arrangements.
•Funding for military patients will be held
centrally by NHS England, not regionally.
•Will funding requirement be calculated
accurately?
•Discussions held up by delays to
establishing posts within NHS England.
•There is uncertainty about who will fund
occupational referrals.
•Our position: Any funding shortage
should be a NHS risk not a Defence
one.

Clinical Skills post Afghanistan
Is a ‘dip’ in performance inevitable following draw-down in
Afghanistan and if so, how deep will it be?
•Unless maintained, skills will have to be
relearned on the next campaign.
•Will we retain our most able people if we
return to a ‘peace-time’ routine?
•Our Position. To maintain hard-won
skills, we need to provide:
•quality clinical placements,
•exposure to simulation,
•rewarding research opportunities
•‘real-life’ opportunities
