Whenever, in the opinion of the secretary for health and family services, a public health <br>emergency exists in any county, or whenever any county fails to establish, maintain, and <br>operate a local health department therein meeting the standards prescribed by the cabinet, <br>the cabinet may assign to said county such of its own personnel as may be designated by <br>the secretary for health and family services.
