Answer 1

There are 4 types of committees
Standing Committee:
Deals with permanent legislative concern. Most common.
Joint Committee:
Permanently formed and consisting of members of both houses. Conducts tasks of joint interest of both houses.
Select Committee:
Temporary committee created for a specific purpose. Investigations or studies.
Conference Committee:
A common type of committee temporarily formed to iron out differences between similar bills.
So according to the given instance it should be Standing Committee.
because Standing committees are permanent panels identified as such in chamber rules. As they have legislative jurisdiction, standing committees consider bills and issues and recommend measures for consideration by their respective chambers even in health policies too. They also have oversight responsibility to monitor agencies, programs, and activities within their jurisdictions and, in some cases, in areas that cut across committee jurisdictions so clearly theis committee's nominated member can revise selection guidelines of future members.
Areas of focus:
Most standing committees recommend funding levels—authorizations—for government operations and for new and existing programs. A few have other functions. For example, the
Appropriations Committees recommend legislation to provide budget authority for federal agencies and programs. The Budget Committees establish aggregate levels for total spending and revenue, via the annual budget resolution, that serve as guidelines for the work of the authorizing and appropriating panels.

Significant legislation:
As mentioned above standing committees consider bills and issues and recommend measures for consideration by their respective chambers.

Current Member Selection Guidelines:
Due to their permanent nature, these committees exist beyond the adjournment of each two-year meeting of Congress.
The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 greatly reduced the number of committees. The membership of each committee is adopted at the beginning of each Congress, usually by adoption of a formal resolution. Each committee is assigned its own staff to assist with its legislative, investigative, and research functions. Several committees divide their work into sub units called subcommittees.

Committee sizes range from 6 to 50 members per committee. In the House, one person may not serve on more than two standing committees and four subcommittees at one time, though waivers can be granted to serve on additional committees.
