I recently discovered, while writing my literature review, that there is a dearth of information about the physical health needs of victims in Northern Ireland. Apart from the Commission for Victims and Survivors' Comprehensive Needs Assessment Report and the research currently being undertaken for the WAVE "Injured" campaign, I am at a loss to find any significant studies or reports related to the physical health needs of victims of the Troubles.
Given that the conflict began circa 1968, leading to the deaths of around 3,600+ people, one would expect a vast amount of literature on the subject of physical health needs. Why is it that the government and/or civil society have not addressed this subject in the literature?
Does a failure to address this issue in the literature constitute a failure in meeting the physical health needs of victims?
