The Indian Health Service has lost at least $15.8 million worth of equipment and later falsified documents to cover up some of those losses, the Washington Post reports today.
An investigation by the Government Accountability Office found that over a three-year period from 2004-2007, 5,000 pieces of equipment were lost or stolen, including a computer that contained more than 800 Social Security numbers and sensitive health information. Also missing are trucks, tractors, all-terrain vehicles and information technology items -- including computers, video projectors and digital cameras -- from the agency's headquarters in Rockville, Md.
