The Auditor General of the State of Illinois released a scathing report on the Department of Healthcare and Family Services. The report states that there are 15 problems with the agency, up from 10 problems in the last report. One item was the delay in reporting the financial data to the Auditor General. Also there was an overstatement of general tax revenues of 600 million dollars.
Health care coverage funds were used to pay out 20 million dollars in worker compensation claims. The funds were originally set aside by lawmakers. The report also stated that delays in the payments of Medicaid to providers were blamed by lack of funding from lawmakers.This was after lawmakers requested a special report.
The Auditor General said the complete financial reports were made available to him in March 2008.
