Not enough money, is the reason why Maryland can't keep up with the investigation of complaints against physicians:
Pinder said the board employs 10 investigators to review complaints, but five similar positions remain vacant, largely because the annual starting salary of about $33,000 is too low to attract applicants.
Del. Peter A. Hammen, a Baltimore Democrat and the health committee chairman, said he would meet with state officials to find ways to help the board boost its pay scale.
"If you don't raise salaries, you're not going to get qualified individuals," Hammen said.
