The perception of total lack of accountability and leadership within the construction division of the Department of Veterans Affairs in dealing with the new Denver VA hospital is completely out of control.

According to GAO, VA does not ensure that biological implant vendors are registered with the FDA. Is not a simple verification important for patient safety?
Apr 1, 2014
According to GAO's testimony, VHA has no oversight ensuring VAMCs check their inventory for and alert affected patients for recall products. Why is no oversight conducted to ensure this safety measure is carried out?
