NOLA.com [9/05] - Day care for medically fragile children, health care for disabled adults and programs letting the elderly live at home rather than in a nursing facility are among the services that could be chopped under contingency plans by state health officials if looming budget cuts become reality next year.
Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) officials have drawn up a proposal for cutting the agency’s spending of state funds by $105 million in anticipation of a projected $340 million state budget shortfall next fiscal year. [...] If it cuts $105 million in state funds, the health department would lose out on a total of $332 million, which includes federal funds and other grants pulled in by state spending. | CONT
