Inspector General: VA managers lied about delays
VA managers at more than a dozen medical facilities lied to federal investigators about scheduling practices and other issues as the inspector general reviews 93 sites across the country. The preliminary findings show 13 facilities with lies and 42 sites with scheduling manipulation, including 19 where appointments were canceled and rescheduled to meet on time goals. Paper waiting lists were used at 16 facilities, and the Phoenix case links to a broader scandal prompting leadership changes and renewed scrutiny of performance expectations.
