To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of the army's (a) Junior Entrants and (b) Standard Entrants were medically discharged due to an injury during initial training in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement.
Mark Lancaster
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
The proportion of Junior and Standard Entrant Regular Army Personnel, Medically Discharged during initial training for 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 is shown below:
Entry Type | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 |
Junior Entry | 6.3% | 8.6% | 6.8% |
Standard Entry | 4.2% | 5.1% | 5.1% |
Initial training has been defined as all personnel either in Phase 1 or Phase 2 training.
Junior Entry is defined as trainees under 18 years old at the Army Foundation College (Harrogate) on Junior Entry courses. Figures for under 18s who follow the standard entry route are recorded with the standard entry total and cannot be separated out.
Officer Designates have been excluded from this response as they do not enter the UK Army via Junior or Standard Entry.
