Health Dept faces budget cuts may shift to prevention only
Norwich UPI State Health Commissioner Anthony Robbins warned budget cuts could push the Health Department to focus on preventive health measures while sacrificing treatment programs. To preserve current levels, an extra 350000 to 400000 dollars next year would be needed, he said. He proposed abandoning the health registry and cancer clinics in Burlington and Rutland, noting the registry is underused. The free dental care for low income children could be cut, but only for treatment without charge.
