Of management. They have been languishing in jail. When their public defender got fed up and said this is ridiculous, i cant get answers, i am going to sub the department of Public Health. All eight are in beds out of jail. Some lang winninged for 8 months. This is a scandal of the highest proportion. People are waiting in jail so desperately i ll we cant find a bed for nine months until they come to Court Everything i am angry. This is the most humane i have seen. All i have seenence i called the mayors office. We it is by our plan. We have staffing issues and blame the workers. It is not good enough. We have got to do something to get those beds up and running. We are talking about hiring 12 more workers. In two years the department of Public Health doesnt have that capacity so that mentality i ll people can get the care they need. Is that the department we are running in the city these days . I have brought copiesna i introduced when this was happening. Directs the department of Pub
Item 5 report back from the finance and Planning Committee from today. Thank you. I am sure commissioner chung would have been pleased today in our reports on the monthly contracts we were able to get some outcomes. The outcomes were quite satisfactory.

We spoke somewhat at the positive Resource Center if that information was getting back to primary providers in a way that they may find it useful to understand how their clients were assisted beyond the medical illness. We heard request for a retroactive contract with the San Francisco Community Health authority, San Francisco health plan, administering the San Francisco covered mri program. It is a contract that goes back four years. Because of the changes of funding in which the Ser
Received eviction on august 19. We have an established program serving the needs of San Francisco Adult Mental Health population for the last 14 years. Instead of building on the program and increasing beds, the program has been losing beds. Not because of the care we are provides. I ask you to consider the individuals you are affecting before making changes. That will have a negative impact on the more helpless clients. Displacing the Mental Health and taking their home are not the solution to the homeless issues. Lets address the facility issues and Work Together to solve them so we can all retain our beds and continue to serve the members of the community. Thank you so much. [applause. ] thank you. I am Theresa Palmer a long time san franciscan. Usually i talk about longterm care. This whole thing is extremely upsetting, and my hope is the department of Public Health can improve from the fallout of this fiasco. Keeping longterm care beds empty because of what amounts to dphs lack of

Not least within the Afghan Government itself under president arnie. That they did not like the document they were dead immediately explain that they had reservations about certain elements of it and i think also for the for the broader public we should not forget that afghanistan has been urbanized since 2001 to a greater extent theres a huge number of people that live in the cities and that cities have been broadly facing the brunt of the taliban attacks where in the rural areas the taliban have been attacked consistently by the nato led and then you know the last few years by the Afghan Security services so in the city is the perception of a peace deal with the taliban and how its received is entirely different to how it might be viewed and ok perceived in the rural areas although afghans as a total they do want an end to violence but i think that particular draft looked like it was giving the taliban upper hand and the taliban could actually sell it as a as a product that shows tha
