Mike Penning questions the Government over PCT refusal to treat servicemen on leave.

Mike Penning (Hemel Hempstead) (Con): I am sure that the whole House would agree that when our armed forces come home on leave they need the best possible treatment from the NHS. Does the Minister therefore agree that it is abhorrent that when a serviceman comes home on leave and needs dental treatment he is turned away by the PCT because there is no funding stream for that treatment and sent back to barracks for treatment? Is that not wrong in the NHS in the 21st century?

Ann Keen: If the hon. Gentleman would like to give me evidence of that, I would be very interested to look at it.
