Late last week, RCPA submitted a letter to Secretaries Dallas, Murphy, Osborne, and Acting Secretary Smith regarding agency unification and government efficiencies. The letter was also sent to all of the oversight committee chairs. The list of efficiencies was compiled from input received from RCPA members and staff. Questions, contact Jack Phillips.
The Senate Committees on Health and Human Services, Aging and Youth, Intergovernmental Operations, and the Appropriations’ Health and Human Services Subcommittee will hold a hearing to gather testimony on the proposed consolidation of the Departments of Human Services, Health, Aging and Drug & Alcohol. The hearing will take place on Monday, May 1, 2017, from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm at the William Pitt Union Assembly Room on the University of Pittsburgh Campus.

Dear fellow HHS stakeholders:
Yesterday, the Governor’s office published a website for folks to learn more about the Governor’s HHS unification proposal. The site will allow stakeholders to review the draft legislation and see the draft organizational charts. The site also includes a way for the public to provide feedback.
You can view the website here. Questions, contact Jack Phillips, RCPA Director, Government Affairs.
