But from the VA standpoint, that is not grounds for firing?
This is to all of you. Chairman Miller wrote a letter to Under Secretary Shulkin last month regarding a VA police report...
Good morning. This hearing will come to order.
In all cases of drug theft by VA employees, are all subject employees reported to their relevant state licensing board?
Thank you, Ranking Member Kuster.
Are non-physicians allowed to prescribe drugs?
What oversight is in place to ensure that providers are properly prescribing controlled substances?
That people with felony drug convictions shouldn't be working in a VA hospital dealing with these controlled substances?
We will put in a formal request for that investigation.
Okay. Can I get a copy of that, then? Because if there wasn't one, there should have been one.
So we have people with felony drug convictions dealing with drugs in your facility?
