Sen. Mitt Romney speaks with the media following a Memorial Day ceremony at the Utah Capitol on Monday, May 30, 2022. Romney, on Thursday, July 28, 2022, said he wants to create a new public health agency aimed at protecting the country from future public health disasters.Utah Sen. Mitt Romney wants to create a new federal agency to strengthen the country’s preparedness against infectious diseases and future outbreaks.
Romney’s office, in a news release, said the public health information already exists across laboratories and hospitals across the country, but the data, “is not shared quickly enough to drive decision making.” In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attack and anthrax attacks of 2001, HHS was tasked to collect and maintain public health data in the event of a pandemic or other disaster. In the years since, according to the release, “HHS has failed to prioritize and deliver consistent, timely public health data for situational awareness, in part because HHS has failed to establish a lead agency to manage, oversee, and govern such a data system,” the news release said.
“The woeful state of public health data reporting has been a crisis for far too long and it has severely hampered America’s response to drug overdoses, food safety outbreaks, and infectious diseases, most notably COVID-19,” Grogan said in a statement released by Romney’s office.
