MESSAGE FROM STATE TASK FORCE
JOINT LEGISLATIVE/EXECUTIVE TASK FORCE ON LONG-TERM CARE

Dear Governor, Co-Chief Clerks and Secretary of the Senate:
The Joint Legislative/Executive Task Force on Long-term Care finds that increases in both the numbers of disabled persons and longevity after disability occurs are dramatically effecting the demand for long-term care services. These effects are diluting the long-care system now and will significantly affect it into the foreseeable future. Our purpose was to develop policy options to insure the quality, availability, accessibility and efficient operation of the system of long-tern care services. Our work also addressed the need to assure that the quality of Washington's services are maintained or enhanced at the highest level possible, especially during this period of dynamic change.
The policy recommendations outlined in this report follow, in a logical sequence, the 12 legislative directives in Chapter 272.17 Laws of 1998 and reflect the many hundreds of hours of debate and discussion conducted by the five Stakeholder Issue Groups. The order in which the recommendations appear does not indicate any effort to prioritize on the part of the Task Force.
The Task Force has agreed to incorporate the policy recommendations submitted by the Stakeholder Issue Groups. The Task Force has not adopted the policy recommendations. They do reflect the findings and recommendations agreed upon and submitted by the Stakeholder Issue Groups. Our purpose was to allow these recommendations to serve as logical platforms for further policy debate and development on the enhancement of long-term care in Washington State.
We would like to sincerely thank the Stakeholder Issue Group chairs and members. Without their tireless dedication and many hours of cooperative work, the Task Force would not have been able to complete its report. Their commitment to the development of serious policy recommendations on behalf of the people, who depend upon long-term care services, is greatly appreciated and acknowledged.
Sincerely,
KARY HYRE, Chair
The Joint Legislative/Executive Task Force Report on Long-Term Care is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
