CDPAP worker retracts statements under oath, legislators seek clarification
FingerLakes1.com, the region's leading all-digital news publication that has been keeping residents informed for more than two decades, reports on a recent development in New York's overhaul of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) home care program.
Public Partnerships LLC, a company involved in discussions regarding the revision of the CDPAP program, has admitted to misleading lawmakers about communications with state officials. Key state health officials and executives from Public Partnerships LLC were in contact with the Department of Health, though specific names have not been publicly detailed.
In a previous statement, Patty Byrnes, a company executive, testified that there were no talks with the Department of Health before Public Partnerships LLC was awarded the controversial contract. However, in a later letter, she confirmed that such conversations did indeed take place.
The reversal by Public Partnerships LLC has added weight to the senators' concerns that the Hochul administration may have influenced the contract process for the CDPAP home care program. Senators have expressed their worries, and subpoenas and further investigation are likely to follow.
