Sir:
Your Committees on Health and Human Services, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 290 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE ON AGING TO CONVENE A FOCUS GROUP WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO ASSESS YEARLY SERVICE DELIVERY NEEDS AND LONG-TERM STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR KUPUNA CARE,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to provide adequate care for Hawaii's elderly population by requesting the Executive Office on Aging (EOA) to convene a focus group with other stakeholders to assess yearly service delivery needs and create a long-term strategic plan for the Kupuna Care, a program within the EOA that is designed to assist independent older adults.
Catholic Charities Hawaii supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committees have amended this concurrent resolution by:
(1) Adding the need for increased funding as a critical step towards ensuring an efficient service delivery system; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Human Services that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 290, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 290, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Human Services,
