SOCIAL SERVICES MEDICAL PROGRAMS DON DUPREE, DOT SR PROGRAM FOR 1979 Paul Peruzzi, Assistant Director of the Planning F, Budget Section with the N. C. Department of Medical Assistance, Robert Stewart, Jr., Regional Directo with the Deparrtment of Human Resources, and Representative Fletcher Harris appeared before the Board to discuss the increasing cost of the Social Services Medical Programs The Board of Commissioners had been requested by the Department of Social Services to appropriate an additional $100,000 to continue providing medical services. The Board requested Mr. Peruzzi and Mr. Stewart to explain the reasons for these rising costs. Mr. Peruzzi informed the Commissioners that in the 1978, the General Assembly increased the counties' share of nonfederal costs for nonstate -owned skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities from 15% to 35%. This shifted more cost for patient care from State revenue sources to county sources, without justification and at a time after counties' social services budgets had been approved at the Local level; therefore, many county budgets are showing a deficit in the medical programs allotments. The state is investigating this matter to see if some relief can be broughtto the local level. Don Dupree, District Engineer with the North Carolina Department of Transport ation, appeared before the Board to discuss road matters and situations in Harnett County.
