Summary

Veterans' Administration Health-Care Personnel Act of 1980 - Title I: Physicians and Dentists Pay Comparability - Exempts physicians, dentists, nurses, and other health-care professionals employed by the Veterans' Administration (VA) Department of Medicine and Surgery from the Senior Executive Service. Sets forth increased special pay schedules for physicians, dentists, and nurses. Title II: Veterans' Administration Health Professional Scholarship Program - Establishes the Veterans' Administration Health Professional Scholarship Program. Sets forth eligibility, contract, obligated service, and application provisions. Exempts such scholarship payments from taxation. Provides, with regard to Veterans' Administration physician's or dentist's primary and special incentive pay, that such scholarship recipients shall not be eligible for such pay during the first three years of obligated service, and thereafter shall only be eligible for half of such pay. Title III: Miscellaneous Amendments - Sets forth standards for: (1) a presumption of inability to defray the expenses of medical care provided by the Veterans' Administration; (2) the supervision of real property transactions by the Congressional Committees on Veterans' Affairs; (3) the number of beds per thousand veterans population required to provide adequate nursing home care in State home facilities. Extends the time for submission of reports on hospital care and medical services furnished in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and in the Virgin Islands. Repeals the requirement that recipients of health-care personnel training grants must increase the number of individuals receiving training.
