Dr. Moonie

Continuous Attitude Surveys (CAS) do not ask how satisfied or dissatisfied soldiers are with Military Healthcare per se. Instead, more specific questions are asked eg relating to waiting lists, remedial treatment and healthcare for the family. Responses given in the CAS published in August 2002 were as follows.

Number Percentage Number Percentage Number Percentage
Waiting lists
Officers 152 43 79 23 119 34
Soldiers 720 50 419 29 297 21
