Following the release of a VA Inspector General report illustrating significant failures at the Colorado Springs VA Clinic, Congressman Doug Lamborn issued the following statement:

"This afternoon I talked to VA Deputy Secretary Gibson to discuss the disturbing revelations brought to light by yesterday’s VA Inspector General Report. Additionally, I wrote Secretary McDonald today to start asking all of the important follow-up questions that must be asked to understand how deep and widespread this wrongdoing goes. I will not rest until I have personal assurance from the Secretary that he will answer my questions and hold these bad actors accountable. The broader implications of this report are gravely important, especially in light of how hard we have tried to reform the VA these past two years. It seems like a former VA employee had it right when he recently said, “The VA cannot be trusted to fix itself.” Our veterans deserve better."
