Some of it didn't come through, but I think I got what you're saying.
You're wondering who should be responsible for researching the physical health of women veterans. If that is the case, we need to first have an injury surveillance system through the CAF, so that when they come out of service, we can understand. If it wasn't documented in their medical chart....
Seventy-five per cent of overuse injuries were reported by females. That means 25% of the overuse injuries are not being reported. That's a pretty substantial number. If we have injury trends per military trade, we can assume that the likelihood of someone having a certain injury because they worked in a certain trade is pretty high. I would say that, on the CAF level, we need to identify what's going on.
There's also VAC. On the first day of basic training, a CAF member potentially could be someone who relies on VAC, so why don't we have that connection right away instead of waiting until they're injured or releasing to start building that connection? It would make a lot of sense for VAC to be involved in monitoring the injuries that are happening during service, or they could document what injuries are being reported to them afterwards. If they start noticing trends, we can start intervening on that.
Again, we need to start tracking what's going on with our members and our veterans before we can start to build any solutions.
