Healthcare Inspection – Alleged Inappropriate Treatment, VA Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle, Washington

In response to an inquiry from Senator Lisa Murkowski, the OIG conducted a review of allegations at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle, Washington. We administratively closed this review in 2007, because the allegations were not substantiated, and we made no recommendations. On May 29, 2007, we provided the administrative closure to Senator Murkowski. 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.
