I'm assuming that we'll go ahead with the program in the future. We're not going to put all the responsibilities back on Veterans Affairs.
In that context, it really needs to be spelled out in the language of the contract what the responsibilities are and what time frames are acceptable, because they're way too tight. What powers will the RSS and the executives over at the contractor have over veterans, over our benefits and over our case management?
There can be no provision that allows VAC to overrule a medical decision, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever. It doesn't matter if continuing the program is going to cost 10 times what it would cost the next veteran. VAC is here to provide rehabilitation services, so either do that or don't.
