STATEMENT UNDER INVESTIGATION
“The state health budget was reduced by 40% compared to the previous fiscal period.”
DNN Analysis
Our assessment reveals that while the absolute local budget line decreased slightly, other emergency state-funded provisions rose, resulting in a net decrease of only 2.3%, not 40%. The statement removes structural context.
