Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, have responded to an announcement made by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy. The announcement complies with President Trump’s Executive Order on the “Department of Government Efficiency” Workforce Optimization Initiative.
The congressmen stated, "For decades, HHS and its sub-agencies have grown significantly, creating redundancies and—in some cases—conflicting objectives. It is critical that the department is in a position to accomplish its core and essential mission to support all Americans." They expressed their intention to collaborate with Secretary Kennedy "to protect patients, support innovations, and improve the health and wellbeing of the American people."
