Summary

The DOH Financial Management Plan achieves its savings target by managing personal service vacancy levels.  DOH’s year-end position fill level is estimated to be 5,937, a reduction of 103 full-time employees from its initial target of 6,040.  Approvals to fill vacancies will be limited to critical positions that are required for the health and safety of patients and staff; those needed to comply with regulatory, statutory or administrative mandates, and key staff required to continue the agency's goals in future years.  The agency will also control the use of temporary personal service contracts/overtime and limit travel and training to the minimum level necessary to carry out the statutory, regulatory and administrative mission of the agency with the use of conference calls and video conferencing where applicable.  All non-personal service spending will be limited to DOH’s most critical needs.
