22-572 96-8 Schedule A HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OFFICE OF THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN Explanation of Changes Shown on Schedule C ATTENDING PHYSICIAN For medical supplies, equipment and contingent expenses of the emergency rooms, and for the Attending Physician and his Assistants, $1,225,000. This is a $35,000 reduction under the amount appropriated in fiscal 1996. The Office of the Attending Physician provides emergency response services not only to Members and Congressional staff but also to the thousands of visitors touring the Capitol complex annually. Mandatory Pay and Related Changes: Personnel increases are attributed to annualization of the FY'96 Cost of Living Adjustment and estimated FY'97 meritorious increases Price Level Changes: Price level increases are attributed to inflation. Program Type Changes: There is estimated to be a decrease of $43,000 in supplies. This decrease is the result of a deliberate five year effort to reduce cost and increase quality and productivity through process improvement. An additional $11,000 reduction in equipment represents a five year effort to update major/minor equipment. Presently, most of the equipment is current and within life expectancy parameters thereby reducing the need to purchase new equipment at this time.
