Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, issued the following statement after the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the Department of Health and Human Services violated the Impoundment Control Act by withholding congressionally appropriated funding for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The finding comes after Boyle raised concerns about cuts affecting research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania and demanded answers from the Trump Administration.
