Refinancing of Staff Infant Health Newborn Screening Expand the newborn metabolic screening panel to include diseases detected by new technology (tandem mass spectrometry). Newborn screening programs identify ten to fifteen babies each day afflicted with potential life threatening abnormalities. Newborn screening began in the early 1960’s with screening for phenylketonuria (PKU). Working with the March of Dimes, Georgia Chapter, efforts are underway to add a test for an additional disease, medium chain acyl Co-A dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) using tandem mass spectrometry. This is not a budget cut , but a request to use redirected funds from within the department to fund this program. State department(s) where program is located: DHR Division of Public Health Amount of state funds proposed to be added in Fiscal Year 2006: *The original amount of funding requested by the Department to fund this item was $2,602,364 and included funds for personnel and operating expenses required to handle the volume of specimens received annually in the Georgia Newborn Screening lab (200,000). It is not clear what items are unfunded or underfunded by the Governor’s request, which is approximately $1 million below the original request. Adequate funding is necessary to screen, and adequate resources for follow-up with families regarding the results of the screening and necessary treatment are equally important.
