Prioritizing Resources
In 2006, the Congress terminated or reduced spending in a number of HHS programs that were either duplicative, inefficient, or not producing results. This produced over $1 billion in savings. The 2007 Budget builds upon this success by identifying additional low-performing or lower priority programs that should be terminated or reduced. As the Administration strives to improve efficiency and effectiveness, the Budget redirects resources to other public health and social service activities that have greater accountability to improve the public health and welfare. Highlights are discussed below.
