Indian Health Service

Not Yet Distributing Funds

Equitably Among Tribes


The Indian Health Service's (IHS') equity
health care fund was established to correct
funding disparities by raising the level of
services provided to the neediest tribes by
the end of fiscal year 1984. However, the
system used to measure and rank tribal
needs has weaknesses, making it difficult
for IHS to know whether the fund is being
distributed according to the tribes' relative
needs.

IHS plans to discontinue the equity fund by
the end of fiscal year 1984, GAO believes
that IHS needs to revise its policy of funding
tribes and programs based on the previous
year's funding level if it is to eliminate the
disparities that will remain. GAO presents
two alternative ways IHS could reduce its
reliance on the program continuity funding
policy.
