Sen. Herb Kohl, chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, has questioned why the Drug Enforcement Agency has not yet lifted certain restrictions regarding controlled substances in nursing homes. The committee chairman pointed out that it wasn’t until the day before the hearing that the DEA began soliciting the public’s feedback on revising the regulations. Kohl asked Joseph Rannazzisi, deputy assistant administrator, Office of Diversion Control with the DEA, how long this process would take.
