Senator James A. Scott <br />January 24, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />Our second concern pertains to elimination of Primary Care and <br />Part H services by the state HRS office before the regular cut of <br />25% by district. This reduction results in a 31% reduction in <br />total operating budget, putting an unequal burden on our county. <br />Indian River County Commissioners and the Indian River Memorial <br />Hospital Taxing District contribute $769,500 to enhance the <br />services to our residents. The Health Department was instructed <br />to include these dollars in their total budget reductions. <br />If the state Senate Ways and Means Committee uses the inflated <br />numbers, the resulting reduction for Indian River County Public <br />Health Unit will equal $1,081,,568. This amount represents a 71% <br />decrease in their state contribution and will have profound <br />consequences on the residents of our county. <br />Please consider our concerns in your final determination of <br />budget reductions. _ <br />Sin rely, <br />2 <br />Kenneth R.
