BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Health Costs Can Be Reduced By

Millions Of Dollars If Federal Agencies

Fully Carry Out GAO Recommendations



Because of the increasing costs of Govern-
ment health programs--a subject of nation-
wide concern--GAO reviewed how agencies
have implemented its recommendations to
help control the costs of health programs.

GAO found that 84 of its reports issued from
January 1974 through December 1978 on
Federal and Federal/State health programs
contained 262 cost-saving recommendations
to the Congress and responsible Federal
agencies. So far, 98 recommendations have
been put into effect and savings of millions of
dollars realized. However, 164 others have
either not been carried out or only partially
so. The Congress and the agencies should put
into effect the outstanding recommendations.
Millions more would be saved.
