If you asked veterans anywhere, they would probably say they're not well served by the veterans affairs department within their own specific countries.
Primarily, it is around the disbursement of access to service and who delivers those services, because no one agency in any one country delivers the range of support needs and services, from basic maintenance and support that one would need, to health care needs. Those are delivered by a range of agencies and organizations, with little regard for single-point entry of access, single-point assessment, or comprehensive assessment. So even veterans within the Australian system certainly would be saying exactly what veterans here are saying, that they're not necessarily well served.
It's because veterans affairs departments are generally trying to look at the health care needs and issues on a national perspective, because it's generally a federal responsibility within government. But in many cases, a lot of the services are delivered through provincial, state, and territory governments. So there are always some differences from province to province or state to state, and getting the national coordination is somewhat difficult.
So veterans, whether it be in Denmark, or in Australia, or in the U.S., would probably say similar things. But I think what Canada is doing in reviewing and looking at how to improve the access to health care and services is certainly going to support veterans as they age.
