Data: Texas state hospital backlog sees modest decrease
The state mental hospital system has seen a modest downturn this year in the massive backlog of mentally ill individuals waiting for a state hospital bed due. The slight shrinking in the backlog coincides with an uptick in the number of usable hospital beds and improved staffing levels, according to state data and presentations at a Health and Human Services Commission advisory committee hearing on Friday.
