2144738lbkxd9haThe Department of Health and Human Resources for the state of West Virginia is coming under intense scrutiny from the state’s government.

Senator Brooks McCabe expressed his concerns over the agency on during the DHHR Secretary, Michael Lewis’ $4 billion budget presentation before the West Virginia’s Senate Finance Committee.

“It takes leadership at the top and hard work at the bottom and I have not been able to find the leadership at the top,” McCabe said. “I’m just trying to throw the gauntlet down and saying take a look at it. But my guy is DHHR needs a major system overhaul.”

McCabe suggested that Lewis do an in-depth review of the agency and inquire to its current employees about ways to create efficiencies.

Lewis responded to McCabe, saying, “This is something I want to study in-depth and get some information on it.”
