Brief Executive Summary
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report looking into idle medical equipment in the Arizona Veterans Affairs Health Care System. The Subcommittee finds that, although there was an abrupt retirement, the Department of Veterans Affairs did not properly oversee the onboarding of equipment which resulted in a waste of over $200,000 in taxpayer money and delayed treatment available to veterans.
