No. In Parkwood Hospital, where I work, the priority access beds are 98% for veterans simply because they are coming from an era of the Second World War and the Korean War when men were much more likely to be involved. That will also change when geriatric services are needed for current cohorts of veterans. We will see many more women than we do now when people from the armed forces today become veterans and need geriatric services in their old age. But right now the war veteran population is mostly male.
