(410 ILCS 250/1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 2101)
Sec. 1.
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State of Illinois that the
prevention of perinatal mortality and conditions leading to developmental
disabilities and other disabilities is a high priority for
attention. Efforts to reduce the incidence of perinatal risk factors by
early identification and management of the high risk woman of childbearing
age, fetus and newborn will not only decrease the predisposition to
disability but will also prove to be a cost-effective endeavor, reducing
State and private expenditures for the care and maintenance of those
persons whose disability was a result of perinatal risk factors.
