      The Swedish comparison is apt. They have double our population at approx 10m, and 2.25 times our active strength and 5.8 times our budget. While we buy uniforms and paint old buildings and buy large ships with little military capability, and buy passenger planes for the Aer Corps, the Swedish spend money on Defence. We in Ireland continually feel the Department buys us presents if we are good and acquiescent to a meaningless exercise.
      As you say in 2012, as an extension to their GP training programme, an additional certified period of training is added on by the new Faculty of Military Medicine in Ireland, to upgrade GP training. Facilities are provided/approved by our Medical Corps. I don't think how we do it is the permanent or ONLY yardstick as we no longer run Military or field hospitals or own facilities for critical care or combat surgery. Ideology or political intentions rarely translates to hospital type boots on the ground. Some people still around saw no problem in industrialising the defence forces and transferring care to the public hospitals. Where does the sick serviceman go? Who takes care of him and his family.
