The ratio of State support to local support shall be determined by the Department in a manner that is consistent with the purpose of this Act as stated in Section 2 of this Act. In establishing such ratio of State to local support, the Department may vary the amount of the required local support depending upon the criticality of the need for more professional health care services and the geographic location and the economic base of the Designated Shortage Area.
