New York comptroller Edward Regan urged that the state decide which hospitals to close to curb billions in health costs, arguing city leaders under Mayor Koch move too slowly. He cited studies showing 7,279 excess beds by 1981 and warned of the high cost of keeping unused beds, noting potential hospital closures would incur job losses and reduce local medical services.
Mayor Ed Koch announced he would appoint Elliott M. Gross Connecticut’s former chief medical examiner as New York Citys new medical examiner to replace the ousted Michael M Baden. Gross previously served five years in New York as deputy chief medical examiner and ranked second to Baden on a civil service test. Baden challenges his removal while Gross faces questions over autopsy evidence in two Connecticut homicide trials.
