This chapter of the Alabama State Health Plan reviews the status of certain specialty health care services and the need for additional services to address the problems cited in the Priorities section of the Plan.  Specialty Services are separately identified for ease of reference and to highlight their importance in the overall planning and regulatory responsibilities.  The health care system in Alabama should not be burdened by an unnecessary duplication of expensive services.
