next, we would like to hear from piers mackenzie. them a good evening -- >> the evening. -- >> good evening. i'm just here representing my daughter, who was taken ill about six years ago. she was diagnosed. she was 5150-ed taken to the general hospital and into the site ward. after a couple of weeks, she went to the mental health of the have facility, which is next to the general hospital. from what i remember at the time, the general hospital had about 200 or 250 beds in the site once. i think that is about correct. at the time, my daughter went into the rehab facility, the city tried to close the rehab facility, and one of the things we heard a great deal was that many patients were being sent out of county at great expense. i come here this evening, and one of the things that brought me here was that i learned that the beds in the general hospital are being further reduced, and i simply do not understand that here at the time, we learned that it costs the city more to send patients out of county rather than treat them in the city.
