WASHINGTON \u2013 Tras la publicaci\u00f3n de un nuevo informe que revel\u00f3 que un gran n\u00famero de veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n no han podido acceder a la atenci\u00f3n en las instalaciones del Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos (VA) de EE. UU., los senadores de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley y Ron Wyden pidieron el lunes una responsabilidad renovada y una acci\u00f3n cambiar un sistema que describieron como un fracaso para los veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El informe revel\u00f3 que tanto el Centro M\u00e9dico de VA de Portland como el Centro M\u00e9dico de VA de Roseburg estaban entre los peores del pa\u00eds en cuanto a tiempos de espera, con m\u00e1s de 6600 veteranos que no pudieron ser atendidos en 90 d\u00edas. Adem\u00e1s, el informe marc\u00f3 las dos instalaciones para una mayor investigaci\u00f3n, lo que sugiere posibles preocupaciones sobre el manejo de los datos. Otras instalaciones de VA que atienden a los veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n, incluidas las de Walla Walla y Boise, tambi\u00e9n fueron marcadas para una mayor investigaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

En las \u00faltimas semanas, el Senador Merkley pidi\u00f3 un nuevo liderazgo en el VA nacional y se reuni\u00f3 con grupos locales de veteranos y funcionarios del VA.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLa imagen que presenta este informe es 100% inaceptable para los veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cDebe haber una acci\u00f3n inmediata e intensa para garantizar que los veteranos obtengan los servicios que tanto merecen. Adem\u00e1s, aquellos que son responsables de estas fallas y cualquier esfuerzo por encubrirlos deber\u00edan perder sus trabajos de inmediato, y debe haber una mayor investigaci\u00f3n sobre la posibilidad de que este esc\u00e1ndalo refleje no solo incompetencia sino tambi\u00e9n irregularidades.  <\/p>\n

\u201cLos tiempos de espera informados por la auditor\u00eda de VA son mucho peores de lo que nos dijeron los l\u00edderes locales en las \u00faltimas semanas, lo que plantea preguntas sustanciales sobre si podemos creer algo de lo que escuchamos sobre lo que est\u00e1 sucediendo en estas instalaciones y exige una explicaci\u00f3n\u201d, continu\u00f3 Merkley. \u201cNecesitamos un liderazgo mucho mejor y un compromiso de los niveles m\u00e1s altos de la Administraci\u00f3n de Veteranos para solucionar estos problemas en Oreg\u00f3n, no esconderlos debajo de la alfombra. Nuestros veteranos merecen algo mejor\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEstoy consternado por el informe de hoy de que los registros falsificados obligaron a m\u00e1s de 6600 veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n a soportar tiempos de espera desmesurados para recibir la atenci\u00f3n que se merecen\u201d, dijo Wyden. \u201cAquellos que manipularon los libros en las instalaciones de VA o mintieron al Congreso mientras intentaba realizar una supervisi\u00f3n deben ser despedidos de inmediato y procesados con todo el peso de la ley\u201d.<\/p>\n

Se puede encontrar una copia completa del informe. aqu\u00ed<\/a>, y la hoja informativa sobre las instalaciones del Noroeste del Pac\u00edfico se puede encontrar aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Merkley y Wyden han luchado durante a\u00f1os contra el juego de registros en las instalaciones de Oregon VA. Lucharon contra un esfuerzo por reducir el tama\u00f1o del Roseburg VA Medical Center, bas\u00e1ndose en estudios defectuosos que afirmaban que hab\u00eda poca demanda de servicios all\u00ed. En 2011, Wyden, Merkley y el representante Peter DeFazio escribi\u00f3 el secretario de VA <\/a>y logr\u00f3 mantener los servicios de la sala de emergencias y expandir la telemedicina en la instalaci\u00f3n, aunque VA cerr\u00f3 la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos y otros servicios a pesar de las objeciones de la delegaci\u00f3n de Oreg\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
