A Department of Veterans Affairs audit
has found that the VA’s medical scheduling issues go far beyond the
Phoenix VA facility, with more than 57,000 veterans nationwide waiting
more than 90 days for medical check-ups after making their initial
appointments.
An additional 64,000 veterans over the last decade were found to have
never had medical appointments after having enrolled in the VA health
care system. The audit also found that some VA schedulers felt pressure
from supervisors to falsify dates in appointment records in order to
meet the goal of a 14-day waiting period for medical appointments.
The rest here.
