	SCONDVA - Transcripts - Tuesday, May 12, 1998
		Veterans Affairs Canada's mandate is to meet the needs of Canadians who serve their country during war and peace and to honour those who gave their lives.
		Veterans Affairs Canada has received presentations on the subject from Lieutenant-General Dallaire and Major Lazowski, and is working closely with the Department of National Defence to smooth the transition for PTSD sufferers from the Canadian Forces, to ensure that there is no gap in care or counselling.
		Veterans Affairs expects to name a senior officer to work at National Defence in their information cell very shortly; and that individual on our behalf would be helping on progressing what I describe to be the partnership.

		Variations included the number of visits to facilities by Veterans Affairs personnel, the use of tools such as guidelines or questionnaires to assess the quality of care, the use of monitoring reports prepared by the facilities and the extent to which departmental staff took an active approach to monitoring the quality of care in facilities.
