GAO Report to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs            VA HEALTHCARE LONG-TERM CARE STRATEGIC PLANNING AND BUDGETING NEED IMPROVEMENT   In fiscal year 2007, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) spent about $4.1 billion on long-term care for veterans. VA provides-through VA or other providers-institutional care in nursing homes and non-institutional care in veterans' homes or the community. In response to a statute, VA published in 2007 a long-term care strategic plan through fiscal year 2013. VA includes long-term care spending estimates in its annual budget justifications for Congress. These estimates are based on workload projections-the amount of care to be provided-and cost assumptions. VA has discretion in allocating appropriated funds among its medical services, such as long-term care. To read the report in its entirety, click here. Back to Top
