A Request from DOH Over the Audit Findings
The Department of Health ought to clarify the lacks the Commission on Audit found and not censure state evaluators for satisfying their command, the Integrated Bar of the Philippines said.
The DOH authorities confronted officials at the House of Representatives on Tuesday for an authoritative investigation into COA’s report that hailed assumed P67-billion in COVID-19 reaction. Yet, Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega wound up attempting to move fault to clinic’s human asset divisions and to the office’s provincial workplaces.
The health Secretary Francisco Duque III in the interim lamented the COA report, blaming state evaluators for “destroying” his area of expertise’s standing.
He added that it was “unreasonable” and “low” for the COA to come out with its discoveries when it apparently didn’t give the DOH sufficient opportunity to react — state inspectors anyway called attention to that time and surprisingly an augmentation was given to the office.
