Health, Hospital Spending By State Nearly $14 Million
Amounts paid out by the state for health and hospitals in Kansas did not begin to assume real importance in state spending until the end of World War II, reports the Governmental Research Center at the University in a 39-year study of state expenditures from 1915 to 1953.
Expenditures for health and hospitals tripled, from $3,662,630 in 1945 to $9,159,568 in 1950 and by 1953 had reached an all-time high for the period studied of $13,779,235.
Before the Eleemosynary Institutions Building Fund was created in 1949, annual amounts spent for the state hospitals showed little difference from year to year. The revenue derived from this new fund provided the means for a long-range capital improvement program for the state hospitals. Because of the increasingly poor condition of existing buildings, it was necessary to allot increasing amounts for new construction and by 1953 total spending for these hospitals had climbed to $10,693,803—more than the 1949 total of $4,755,413.
Increase began by Expenditures by the State Board of Health first began to increase consistently with the advent of federal grants in 1935. Before then, spending by the board averaged about $71,000 each year. Federal aid enabled the state to greatly expand both its state and local health activities, in such areas as general health, maternal and child health services, venereal disease, tuberculosis, cancer and heart disease control, industrial and mental hygiene, water pollution and hospital construction.
By 1953 total spending by the board amounted to $3,085,432. Funds are made available to local health units on the basis of local need and financial ability. The funds are to insure not only an adequate program in various fields of health protection but also to stimulate the development of new services.
Total gross spending for all health and hospital activities in 1953 amounted to $13,779,235 of which $1,961,630 represented grants made to local health units. The net expenditures by the state of $11,817,605 constituted 9.16 per cent of the entire net state expenditure for the year.
