Original consultation

Summary

A proposal to cease publication of the annual Official Statistic report that tracks the care and outcomes of personnel very seriously injured or seriously injured on operations in Afghanistan.

This consultation ran from
9:30am on 31 October 2016 to 11:45pm on 25 November 2016

Consultation description

Defence Statistics propose to cease production of the ‘Annual tracking of Afghanistan very seriously injured/seriously injured UK operational casualties’ Official Statistic bulletin.

This has been proposed due to a drop off in the number of casualties sustained in Afghanistan, a fall in the number of personnel receiving specialist care and a perceived reduction of interest for the report from inside and outside the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Please note that the MOD will continue to monitor the healthcare of the personnel very seriously injured (VSI) and seriously injured (SI) in Afghanistan.
