From Laura Leigh Goins

Frankfort, KY - Rep. Amy Neighbors of Edmonton will serve on the Kentucky General Assembly's Health and Human Services Delivery Task Force, according to an announcement on May 31, 2023, from the office of House Speaker David Osborne. Legislative leadership created the panel to focus on issues pertaining to health and human services delivery, as well as identifying both areas of improvement and potential solutions.

The Cabinet for Health and Family Services contains scores of agencies, offices, and programs aimed at protecting the health of all Kentuckians and providing services to help individuals meet basic needs like housing and food, particularly for our most vulnerable. As you can imagine, it is a multi-billion expenditure in the budget legislators write, so we have a vested interest in ensuring the state's resources are invested well.
