Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES






Congressional Monitoring Of Planning

For Indian Health Care Facilities

Is Still Needed




In 1977, the Congress imposed a moratorium
on hospital construction planned by the In-
dian Health Service, Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare. GAO had reported
that the Service's plans would create excessive
bed capacity in the Navajo area. The Service
was directed to improve its planning for the
construction program, but it has only par-
tially complied with the directive.

The Service revised the way it determines the
number of acute care beds needed, but GAO
believes planning is still not adequate. Plans
would still lead to construction of unneeded
acute care beds in the Navajo area and could
lead to excess beds elsewhere.

The Congress should continue the morato-
rium until the Service fully complies with the
congressional directive.
