There is little accountability in management and, once again, procurement and procedures and policies were not in place.

I am committed to working with all of you to ensure that our wounded veterans... are able to go about their lives more comfortably.

I will start with Mr. Oros.

We will be asking the IG and the VA as far as how did they come up with those cost comparisons...

Do you think we should ask the VA to freeze the reorganization, bringing everything in-house?

It is not uncommon for clinicians to prescribe something and it is being modified by contracting officers and primarily because of cost.

if it costs a little bit more, then they should be able to get it if it fits them more appropriately.

Our responsibility is to maximize a quality of life for these veterans...

We are not talking about 25 or 30 thousand prosthetics...

It is vital that we set VA prosthetic care on a course that matches the courage and bravery of the men and women who serve our Nation in uniform.

My question is, the veteran themselves, have you done an evaluation? Is the customer, the veteran satisfied with the service and, if not, why not?
