I received this email today and thought I'd share it with RP.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General (OIG), conducted extensive work related to allegations of wait time manipulation after the allegations at the Phoenix VA Health Care System in April 2014. Since that event and through fiscal year 2015, we have received numerous allegations related to wait time manipulation at VA facilities nationwide from veterans, VA employees, and Members of Congress that were investigated by OIG criminal investigators.
As we stated at Congressional hearings, at this time the OIG has completed 77 criminal investigations related to wait times and provided information to VA’s Office of Accountability Review for appropriate action. It has always been our intention to release information regarding the findings of these investigations at a time when doing so would not impede any planned prosecutive or administrative action. OIG will begin a rolling publication of these administrative summaries of investigation by state so that veterans and Congress have a complete picture of the work completed in their state. As other reviews are completed, we intend to post them to our website.
You may view and download these administrative summaries of investigation by clicking on the link to our webpage at http://www.va.gov/oig/publications/administrative-summaries-of-investigation.asp and selecting the appropriate state.

Hopefully Progress will be made. Remembering all the Horror Movies about the VA Since before I joined in 76 to the Current Situation I am really not Hopeful. They'll clean house and a year, two or several we will be back in the same situation. Until they start adequately funding the budget of the VA. All else is Cosmetic.
