L.A. County Not on Top of Worker Background Checks
On Tuesday, Los Angeles County officials admitted that they do not know how many of the 2,000 temporary employees working at county hospitals and clinics have not had a criminal background check. The county has suspended the contract for one of its largest providers of temporary health care professionals after the agency placed a convicted rapist at an East Los Angeles clinic.
