El Departamento de Salud del Estado se Rehúsa a Rectificar un Error que Perjudica a los Recién Nacidos Durante la Audiencia Pública del Sub Comité del Presupuesto

(Sacramento) - Assemblywoman Blanca E. Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) and other Members of the Budget Sub Committee on Health and Human Services are asking the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to fix an error they created while improperly procuring a contract bid.  The Department has refused to provide a timely fix.  

“It is egregious to me that we as a state have allowed innocent newborns to be lost to follow-up.  These children depend on us for vital hearing services and the Department of Health Care Services cannot continue to fail them,” said Assemblywoman Rubio.
