the Battle of Jutland.

Pays tribute to those who fought in these and other battles during the First
World War.

Honours the memory of both those who lost their lives and those who were
casualties of the First World War, and other armed conflicts.

Believes the Welsh Government must provide greater support to Wales's armed
forces and veterans community during the fifth Assembly, including through:
a)
establishing an Armed Forces & Veterans Commissioner, prioritising their
specific need;
b) introducing a Veterans Card Scheme to extend privileges to former service
personnel;
c)
increasing funding for the Veterans' NHS Wales service, to enhance its capacity
and improve its ability to help veterans in need; and
d)
improving data collection in order to: establish the health needs of veterans;
identify the support needed by their family and carers; inform
commissioning and service provision; and highlight the engagement needed with
people in the armed forces, serving and/or at transition into civilian life.
