Summary

The Secretary must give a yearly grant to each health systems agency that meets three conditions: it has a current designation agreement, it has a health services plan (HSP) and an annual implementation plan (AIP) reviewed by the Statewide Health Coordinating Council, and it is set up and working the way rules require and is doing its job in a way the Secretary finds acceptable. The Secretary decides each grant amount after looking at the area’s population, average family income, and how many health services are available. No grant can be larger than $1 times the area population. The agency must apply and be approved in the form the Secretary requires. Funds were authorized as follows: $25,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1975; $75,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1976; $120,000,000 for each of the years ending September 30, 1977 and September 30, 1978; $20,000,000 for the year ending September 30, 1981; and $30,000,000 for the year ending September 30, 1982.
