During our last meeting on this study, the veterans ombudsman, Mr. Lick said, “In 2016 we released reports on three investigations: one on operational stress injuries in the primary reserves and two focusing on the process of transition from military to civilian life.” He also went on to say that these reports between them contained eight recommendations, seven of which were accepted by the minister, but none were fully implemented.
First of all, would you agree with that assessment?
Do you want to comment on the importance of implementing the recommendations of our ombudsman, and also, indeed, those from parliamentary committees that have also made recommendations to the government in support of veterans in transition?
