The Department of Health and Human Services, the largest state agency, has a budget of almost $4 billion. DPHHS is in charge of everything from welfare programs to Child Protective Services. Last fall’s audit of CPS did not paint a rosy picture and pointed out several standards which needed implementing if we are going to truly protect our neediest children. Audit findings noted the lack of communication with caregivers, do timely investigations, comply with state law and resolve inconsistencies between the law and department policies.
