State Must Improve Management of Medical Equipment Stockpile
New York bought hundreds of millions of dollars worth of medical equipment at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, including ventilators and x-ray machines, that now sits unused in storage facilities across the state, missing recommended maintenance and costing taxpayers storage expenses, according to an audit released by Comptroller DiNapoli.
“During the pandemic, New York State quickly purchased medical equipment to address the public health crisis,” DiNapoli said. “Now, hundreds of thousands of unused devices sit idle. I urge the Department of Health to develop and execute a strategic plan for the maintenance and use of these and future medical equipment purchases, so New York is well prepared for the next public health emergency.”
