Commission aims to revive annual report after two decades; LDH staff offer printing budget
Summary
The Commission discussed producing a new annual report to meet its legislative charge; members said prior reports were issued about 20 years ago and LDH staff member Sam Burgess said a budget for printing and dissemination can be provided.
Commission members discussed producing an annual report to fulfill the panel’s legislative charge and to share findings with state leaders.
Members noted the last annual Commission reports were circulated about 20 years ago. The report under discussion would be distributed to Louisiana Department of Health leadership, the governor’s office and the state Legislature to document activities and recommendations.
Sam Burgess said a budget for printing and dissemination can be provided by LDH staff, though the minutes do not specify an amount. Commissioners discussed resources and next steps for producing the report but did not adopt any formal timeline or content decisions at the meeting; quorum was not met for votes on related items.
Commissioners identified the annual report as a tool for meeting their statutory responsibilities and for elevating gaps in rural access and provider training. The next opportunity to formalize content or approve resources will be when the Commission achieves a quorum and resumes votes.
