Those items were: <br /> A. The federal level of the Family Planning Program has created a <br /> revised fee scale. The difference between the new scale and the present <br /> scale is that the eligibility limits have been raised by ten percent. <br /> We should implement the new scale as soon as possible to prevent several <br /> patients from a changed eligibility status. <br /> B. We need to submit our family planning program grant application <br /> for fiscal year '81-'82 to enable its receipt in the Division of Health <br /> Services Regional Office by March 2. In past years you have taken this <br /> action contingent upon your final appropriation in June. Secondly, this <br /> request would represent what I would hope to start off the year with in <br /> federal/state monies and not necessarily what will be actually granted. <br /> I would be pleased to discuss the program in detail this evening. However <br /> I suggest you may find it more interesting if it is later discussed in the <br /> context of our overall budget/programatic presentation, of which this is <br /> a key element. Acting on the family planning application separately gives <br /> the impression that the program is free standing, which it is not. <br />
