CALIFORNIA - A court-appointed receiver charged with overseeing health care in the state's prison system wants to build a 1,500-bed medical facility in Otay Mesa, part of a $7 billion statewide package to improve the quality of treatment for prisoners with chronic conditions. A federal judge yesterday approved the plan by the receiver, J. Clark Kelso, to improve prison medical care, but funding is unresolved for the facility near the Richard J. Donovan prison and up to six others around the state. The state Senate has twice voted down plans to borrow money to pay for the upgrades. Notices were submitted yesterday to local, state and federal agencies by Kelso's office that an environmental review would begin for a high-security medical facility in Otay Mesa and another in the Stockton area. Other potential sites include Camarillo and Chino. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |

The proposed facility in Camarillo has come to the attention of the Ventura County Medical Association governing board, which has invited Mr. Kelso or his representatives to discuss his proposals for reform of the prison medical system in our area. This is an important issue which will impact availability of a variety of health care resources in an area where other hospitals are currently in the process of rebuilding or refurbishing existing facilities. Considerable opposition to the plan has been expressed locally, however, available options appear few, given the fact that the state's responsibility has been virtually preempted by federal courts. State responsibility remains to the extent that the legislature will be required to institute budgetary and tax reform in order to comply with the need for funding for these proposals.
