The MOD opened a consultation with internal and external stakeholders on 30 April 2024, regarding the proposed cessation of the annual UK service personnel amputation statistics.

The consultation period ended on 11 June 2024. There was one response during the consultation period objecting to the cessation of the report. The response was considered when a decision was made on the cessation of the statistic.

The data used to produce the statistic will continue to be collected for future use, however the production of the annual UK service personnel amputation statistics will cease.

Original consultation

Consultation description

The amputation statistics were originally developed to report on the effect of operations in Afghanistan (Op HERRICK) and Iraq (Op TELIC), with regards to amputations sustained by service personnel. Operation TELIC (Iraq) ended in May 2011, operations in Afghanistan ended in August 2021 and the numbers of amputations sustained over the past five years has decreased. We are therefore proposing the cessation of this report.

If you have any comments on the proposed cessation of this report, please email them to Analysis-Health-PQ-FOI@mod.gov.uk with UK service personnel amputation statistics consultation in the subject line.
