Political appointees at #VA & their allies have also said they favor a leaner #healthcare workforce because they think #physicians & other #health care providers could be more productive, said one former appointee who is close to the Trump team.

The #health system grew by tens of thousands of employees under the #Biden admin as more #veterans enrolled in #VA #healthcare after passage of the #PACTAct, which expanded benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.

The reorganization comes in advance of an expected announcement next week that Collins plans to also shrink the network of 18 regional offices that administer the nation’s #VA #hospitals & #medical centers, acc/to 4 people familiar… Staff at those regional offices help determine policies & manage staffing. Collins & others have been critical of the agency’s top-heavy administrative offices, arguing that staffing cuts there will free up more resources for #healthcare.
