Alcoholism Top Health Issue in VA Hospitals
A Controller General report labels alcoholism the No 1 health problem in the Veterans Administration hospital system and criticizes the VA for lacking a comprehensive program. Roudebush defends action, noting 17 VA hospitals have alcohol treatment units and plans for 12 satellite clinics in major areas lacking facilities. The report cites access limits for working veterans and unclear admission criteria, while VA pledges expanded publicity and uniform standards within constraints. A second item reports a California pie-throwing group offering hits for 15 dollars, with four local independents promising similar services and a motto about deriding those who boast.
