Waiting Lists
The Armed Forces Covenant states that the Armed Forces Community should enjoy the same standard of, and access to, healthcare as that received by any other UK citizen in the area they live.  It also states that family members should retain their relative position on any NHS waiting list, if moved around the UK due to the Service person being posted.
