Budget Worries Kansas Mental Health Program
In Topeka, state officials debate cuts to the Kansas mental health program as budget talks near the 1971 legislative session. Budget Director James Bibb cut 1.3 million from the Division of Institutional Management’s request for the educational program, trimming nursing aide positions amid a shrinking inpatient census. Supporters led by Menninger Foundation head urge preservation, noting the program’s international reputation and faster patient discharge. critics warn cuts could undermine a national model.
