just from the department of hea health, that's almost $3 million. our budget is about $380 million. so i want to ask you, chief, when the department gave us station 49 and all of the paramedics, did -- was -- did our budget reflect that, and it reflected that over the years? there are now neighborhoods that exit that didn't exist when i was growing up in the city. so has our growth been reflected in our budget on an annual basis? and when we received station 49, did we receive also a massive increase in our budget. did we justify a big increase in our budget, and if we didn't, we should be saying that. the department of health is important, but there are also, as we see with ems 6, there are new programs here in san francisco that are being developed that in my opinion -- and i love ems 6. i think it needs to grow, but it's a program that we also inherited because another department -- i'm not picking out any particular department, but other departments in this city weren't doing the job they should have been doing, so now, we're doing these jobs, and i think we should be doing this

department section of the department of public health. i'm the oral health consultant and the child health and disability prevention program. approve the accept and expend for the grant of 308,000 -- sorry, exact amount. $879 for the first fiscal year, it's a five-year grant, totaling 1.500000 -- $1,500,000. sorry. with this grant we hope to create and support the infrastructure for local oral health program that we have been developing for the past four years. some of you were here when we presented the strategic plan for children's oral health in san francisco. with this, these funds, we will be able to hire for a category 18 grant funded only position and epidemologist, to help us describe the oral health status of children and young adults in san francisco. the other portion of this fund used for express hire for a health educator trainee for three years, to help promote the oral health program in san francisco. we also hope to support our three oral health task forces in the high risk neighborhoods in the mission, in district ten, and

so if it was still in the department of health, that would be in the department of health budget, and i want to make sure that we have received that growth as well because we have taken on this -- and i believe that obviously, we -- it's natural. it makes sense that we would have that. but i want to make sure we get the budget that reflects that growth. >> and then, just in general, we do look at, and part of the budget committee, part of their work is to service different areas of the department. we try to get as diverse a group a possible so we have all ranks, all divisions, and we do a needs assessment and we look at some of the data providing on those specific items as far as additional funding requests to the mayor's office as part of our overall budget. did i hit on -- >> yes. >> okay. >> thank you. commissioner covington? >> thank you, mr. president. i will yield the floor to the chief of the department. chief, did you still want to speak? >> at 11:15, i do have to part, but i'll seek to continue because i know there's another item i'm meeting with the police chief, the sheriff

juno i am a huge backer of the nypd, buy got to tull when they were working with the department of healthn new york city to create a supervised zone for people to get high on illegal drugs. my head almost explode. listen, first of all, the drugs are illegal. the idea we have government employees supervising people shooting up heroines the height of in stain i get the point they are trying to can be the overdose epidemic with people dying. you don't do it by encouraging them to get high just because you are standing next to them with a shot of narcan to bring them back to life after they died of overdose is not addressing the problem. people need help what they done need is encouragement to get high. every time first prone uses narcan there should be mandatory sentencing for the person who used the illegal drug in the first place. so let's make it mandatory if we're use nar condition and do away with the idea of supervisor injection. all right. am bill >> live from center city in philadelphia this is fox 29 news at 11. >>> murder for hire plot takes another dramatic turn. dr. james kauffma

what investigation is the department of health carrying out into the use deeply alarming reports? >> prime minister? >> when we hear reports of course they are very alarming and the department of health does make sure investigations do take place. that may be undertaken by the department of health or the ambulance trust or the hospitals, these issues are properly investigated as we don't want to see that happening, we want to see people properly care for and if there are lessons to be learned they will be learned because what we want to do is support the nhs, providing with funding, doctors, nurses, treatments, capabilities it needs in order to deliver the patients. that is why we are backing the nhs with more funding and ensuring they get the best treatments and survival rate for cancer higher than they have ever been before and ensuring we better joined of services across the nhs and social care so those who don't go to hospital are able to be cared for at home and why we are ensuring we are reducing waste in the nhs so take their money is spent as effectively on patient care. th

i noticed that what we received from los angeles was that they worked closely with the department of public health and we heard from the department of public health about challenges they may have in implementing the program, can you address those challenges and how maybe we can partner with los angeles city and county around the issues they had working with they're public health department. >> sure, we have worked closely for years with the los angeles county department of public health. they have a wonderful team that is focused on transforming their procurement policies within the counties. i know they would be more than happy to lend their perspective on the work they've been doing over the years. i think one of the challenges that was mentioned was working with the group purchasing organization and some of the distributor existing distributors in the supply chain. the experience of l.a. county department of public health has been one in which they begin a conversation with their current vendors and find the vendors receptive to addressing the concerns of their client. and they'll do anything t

and strongly support this move to include the department of public health and the sheriff's department in the good food purchasing program. >> my name is christina. i'm here on behalf of the animal legal defense fund. it's a membership organization with 250,000 members nationwide, including 2000 in san francisco county. they support the adoption of the good food purchasing policy by san francisco hospitals and jails. the emphasis on reducing the total volume of animal products purchased as a strategy for improving environmental sustainability and animal welfare is essential to the overall well-being of individuals. reducing the dairy consumption will have direct and beneficial impacts on the environment. reducing consumption of meat and dairy is one of the most impactful for mitigating climate change. jails and hospitals would reduce the carbon footprint. finally because meat and dairy are recognized to contribute to heart disease, diabetes and cancer, reducing consumption of both is a critical component of hospitals and jails. we strongly support and ask that you do as well. >> thank

and just for the department of public health, i am still trying to process this. it just happened that we got from the controller, performance report and i was struck from laguna honda that one of the metrics that they're failing is they're not getting people out of there in 60 days or less. that was not my understanding of what it was supposed to be. that's a weird metric. can we get people in and out in 60 days or less. so i'm baffled by that, too. the idea of trying to process patients like cattle seems bazaar. especially when it's seniors. as a community and city we need to work at how we're going to help our seniors. i admire supervisor yee's leadership and foresite and bringing it to our attention. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> i just want to say one thing, this is a problem that is not going to go away. this is a problem as a public speaker said that is going to get worse. this is a problem that is going to just compound other issues that we have, too. this is not going to go away. this is -- this is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger. supervi

>> so in san francisco most of of the fund is through the department of public health or human services agency. we have contracts to do specific programs. the mini management program is funded through the department of public health. we take care of people's tax dollars, if that money come from city resources and we are very careful on how we spend it, but of course there is never quite enough. the city is careful with what we are careful in what we do. but there is always a need. and particularly for supplemental programs to do extra things for the residents. we do a lot of activities, dinners, community dinners, art programs. whatever meets the needs of the people of that particular residence. so those are the kinds of extra things that don't always get in city budgets. >> and stephanie, as the development director, you're living this seven days a week. the particular challenges for funding these wonderful programs. >> so, because we do get contracts to provide the housing and the basic staff coverage, it doesn't provide for furniture, sheets, towels, pots and pans, these people come
