Section 2750. Legislative findings and purpose

One of the three major
  causes of accidental death in New York state is burn injury, and one  of
  the  contributing  factors to the high mortality rate from burn injuries
  is the lack of trained individuals  and  available  facilities  for  the
  treatment  and rehabilitation of the victims of burn injury. In order to
  provide for the improved delivery of medical care to the victims of burn
  injury in the state, the department of health shall have the central and
  comprehensive responsibility for the development and  administration  of
  the  state's  policy  with  respect  to  medical care of victims of burn
  injury.
