Senators slammed the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General Wednesday for enabling the agency's misdeeds instead of acting as an independent watchdog.
The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee voted to require all inspectors general to make their recommendations available to the public, to Congress and whistleblowers.
The move came in response to the refusal of the Veterans Affairs inspector general to share some reports â including several draft reports focused on fraudulent treatment scheduling in the department â with Congress in a timely fashion.
VA OIG completed a report that uncovered troubling practices at the Tomah VA, and provided recommendations ... this report was never reported to Secretary [Robert] McDonald, the Congress, or the public, said Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.
The report was requested by a member of Congress and the VA failed to provide it even to the member. ... The failure of the VA OIG to appropriately share this report ... is simply unacceptable, she said.
