Given universality of service and what we ask of members of the Canadian Forces in missions like Afghanistan, there is a natural tension between a health care practitioner's duty to protect a diagnosis, to protect the information about a patient's condition, and the commanding officer's duty of care to the unit and to the person to not deploy the person if they have an operational stress injury or another invisible impediment to being deployed. Do you think that tension is being resolved successfully for the vast majority of CF personnel, or do we still have work to do?
