Healthcare Inspection – Alleged Environment of Care Deficiencies in the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Unit VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System, Leeds, MA

In response to an inquiry from the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee (SVAC) Majority Staff, the OIG conducted a review of allegations at the VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System, Leeds, Massachusetts. We administratively closed this review on March 13, 2014, because the allegations were not substantiated, and we made no recommendations. On March 20, 2014, we provided the administrative closure to SVAC Majority Staff. In addition to posting this review on our website, OIG has distributed copies of this review to VA and Veterans Health Administration officials, congressional committees, national veterans service organizations, the Government Accountability Office, and the Office of Management and Budget.
