The subcommittee met at 10 a.m., pursuant to call, in room 356, House Office Building, Hon. Robert A. Everett (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. EVERETT. The subcommittee will come to order. We are meeting this morning to open the hearings on the possibility, feasibility, and desirability of increasing nursing care or intermediate care facilities throughout the Veterans Administration medical and hospital system as well as providing additional assistance for veterans who may not be in the Veterans Administration system, but who need care of this type. Without objection, I will include at this point the letter from the chairman of the full committee, the Honorable Olin E. Teague, dated March 4, 1963, which sets forth the general guidelines the chairman expects to govern the operation of the subcommittee. (The letter referred to follows:) Hon. ROBERT A. EVERETT, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Chairman, Special Subcommittee on Intermediate Care, Veterans' Affairs Committee, 'House Office Building, Washigton, D.C. DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The purpose of this letter is to outline the area of inquiry of the Special Subcommittee on Intermediate Care. It will be the purpose of your subcommittee to fully investigate the desirability and feasibility of increasing the number of beds allocated for intermediate or nursing care. I refer primarily to the care of patients who are suffering from chronic conditions, but who do not require acute medical attention. Some Veterans' Administration hospitals already have instituted care of this type, but generally speaking, the Veterans' Administration has resisted our efforts to increase this type of treatment. The subcommittee will also investigate the possibilities of additional assistance to housebound veterans to permit them to remain in their homes or to be cared for in privately operated nursing homes. There are several bills pending before the committee which relate to this general subject and I will expect your subcommittee to consider these proposals when hearings are held. It should be quite clear that in speaking of nursing care beds I refer to new beds and not a transfer or substitution of existing bed allocations. In other words, to the overall ceiling of 125,000 beds in the Veterans' Administration medical system would be added an additional number of beds of the nursing care type if the subcommittee finds such a recommendation to be in order. In December the number of operating beds was listed at 120,450. Thus, the present operating beds is 4,500 below the overall ceiling. A brief questionnaire to |
