BV THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES'





Legislation Needed To' Encourage

Better Use Of Federal Medical

Resources And Remove Obstacles

To Interagency Sharing


The Federal Government can make much bet-
ter use of its health care delivery resources
through interagency sharing. However, legisla-
tive and administrative obstacles  prevent
the effective use of these resources. In this
report several recommendations to overcome
these obstacles are made to the Congress, the
Office of Management and Budget, and the
agencies primarily responsible for the delivery
of Federal direct health care--the Departments
of Defense and Health, Education, and Wel-
fare and the Veterans Administration.

The agencies' comments on the recommenda-
tions varied considerably, showing a need for

    -congressional action to enact legislation
    to provide the impetus for the develop-
    ment of an effective Federal medical re-
    sources sharing program and

    --the establishment of a uniform execu-
    tive branch policy regarding inter-
    agency sharing.
