WHIO News Talk Radio: Lawmakers Want Deeper Probe of VA Dentist

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senator Sherrod Brown, Senator Rob Portman, and Congressman Mike Turner have written to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki, urging him to investigate the lack of oversight that allegedly allowed a practitioner at the Dayton VA Medical Center's dental clinic to violate medical standards of practice over an 18 year period.
Reports say the alleged actions potentially exposed hundreds of veterans to blood-borne pathogens.
In the letter, the three lawmakers requested the VA Secretary to "order a review of all VA Medical Facility oversight policies and procedures to ensure that veterans are receiving the quality of care that they deserve and which had been promised to them."
