. Of the annual appropriation made to the department for
tuberculosis control, the department may expend a sum not to exceed
7.5 percent of the total, for administrative costs. In addition, it
may, if it deems necessary, withhold a portion of the appropriation
to pay for the cost of regional laboratory services and regional
hospitalization facilities for patients whose care cannot be
reasonably accomplished in facilities available within a local health
department, or it may contract with physicians to supervise the
medical care of tuberculosis patients in areas where the specialized
care is not available. Further, the appropriation shall be available
to purchase materials or drugs used in tuberculosis control for
distribution to local health departments.
