Annual Medical Discharges in the UK Regular Armed Forces (1 April 2013 - 31 March 2018)

Abstract: This bulletin has been published to provide both the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the general public with information on the number and rate of personnel that leave the Service as a result of a medical discharge and the causes behind these discharges. It has been produced in response to the increased public interest in medical discharges from the UK Armed Forces. In addition this information is used to prioritise resources used for the rehabilitation and reintegration of personnel leaving the Armed Forces or medical reasons and to help inform discussions on injury prevention in the Armed Forces.
