However, there exists a chronic shortage of medical and convalescent facilities for them and they face multi-year waiting lists for services.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1682980\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, the petitioners ask the House to expand the range and scope of medical and convalescent services for veterans, to expand the number of beds and to initiate a re-evaluation of medical services provided to our veterans, specifically those in their seniors year, to ensure adequate resources and attention are being paid to those who have served their country so well.</p>",

Toutefois, il y a actuellement une p\u00e9nurie chronique d'\u00e9tablissements m\u00e9dicaux et de lieux de convalescence pour eux, et ils doivent attendre pendant des ann\u00e9es pour obtenir des services. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1682980\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Par cons\u00e9quent, les p\u00e9titionnaires exhortent la Chambre \u00e0 \u00e9largir la gamme et l'\u00e9tendue des services m\u00e9dicaux et de convalescence offerts aux anciens combattants, \u00e0 augmenter le nombre de lits et \u00e0 faire r\u00e9\u00e9valuer les services m\u00e9dicaux fournis \u00e0 nos anciens combattants, plus particuli\u00e8rement les plus \u00e2g\u00e9s, pour que ceux qui ont servi notre pays disposent de ressources suffisantes et re\u00e7oivent l'attention n\u00e9cessaire.</p>"
