I will say, though, that I, back in November, I visited the Los Angeles Regional Office and met with VBA employees there.
It is frustrating that the VA has not made more progress addressing these challenges, most of which long predate the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is just I feel as though we have given--this committee has given the VA a lot of tools and sometimes those tools are underutilized to get to the goals that we are trying to get to.
