Morris: Hospital closings unlikely in Kansas
AP reports Senator Steve Morris doubts the legislative study committee will recommend closing any state hospitals for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled. The Special Committee on Appropriations and Ways and Means will review hospital status, with any findings forwarded to the 2004 Legislature. Morris cites insufficient beds and the need for crisis care, noting past closures reduced capacity while space at some facilities has been repurposed to aid patients.
