Progress Report 2022

Posted on November 16 2022 at 15:06

On 16 November I published my first independent assessment of progress in the delivery of recommendations made to Scottish Ministers which aim to make things better for Scotland’s 250,000 veterans and their families.

This is the fourth year the progress assessment has been published and my assessment shows considerable progress, despite my fears that the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic would result in a slowing pace of delivery. There does however remain some stubborn challenges in putting some SVC recommendations into practice – which I intend to take a close look at in the next 6 months – and my concern that the cost-of-living crisis may derail or slow the pace of delivery of some priorities.

You can get more information about my 2022 assessment of progress here.

Great to see this new breakfast club set up in Grantown in the Highlands by ex-soldier Mark Strachan has already attracted veterans from surrounding areas. Coming together to share experiences and support each other can have such a positive impact on wellbeing, especially for those in more rural communities. The breakfast club is available on the third Friday of each month at the Pagoda in Grantown.

Popped along to St John's Hospital where staff in the Armed Forces Network were sharing a 'NAAFI break'. Great to meet veterans in a wide range of NHS Scotland roles from Administration to Engineering and to hear more about their varied paths from the military to our NHS. #VeteransSupport #VeteransScotland #NAAFIbreak

An inspiring day of collaboration at last week's #JoiningForces conference, hearing how forces-friendly employers make the most of the talent pool that is the veteran community. It was a great opportunity to share good practice and make connections.
