dr. barnes, if you want to begin. >> my name is ken barnes, and i am a doctor who practiced at st. luke's for over 30 years, and i worked in the sub acute unit for 15 years. i'm going to limit my comments to mostly the issue of sub acute. there's so much here that we could comment on. as you know, there is an acute shortage of sub acute beds in san francisco. at its peak, st. luke's had nearly 40 beds, and now it has 17. in 2012, sutter cpmc decided that only admissions from their hospitals could go into the sub acute unit. and then, in 2016, they decided that there would be no further admissions, so what's happened is that the number of patients have just been gradually falling. now, as i think was mentioned, the plan that cpmc has now is to transfer the 17 patients remaining to the davies campus, and these beds that are being given to the sub acute are going to be placed in the skilled nursing facility, which has 38 beds now, and it'll go down to 21. and this is adding to another crisis that we have, and that is hospital-based snf beds, because the only snf beds that are hospital

dr. barnes, i asked you for a point of clarification. >> this is a clarification. >> i appreciate your interpretation; however, the chair will rule that that is not a clarification. thank you. we'll proceed -- >> and if i could -- chair. >> yeah. >> i do think that we have to work very hard to look at this issue and this need, and i just want the public to know that they have the commitment of the department to really do that. and i also think that, you know, we do need to work with our other partners. ucsf is willing to do this. i've asked cpmc what would it take to keep those 17 beds open because i think we need to ask that question, because we're losing ground on this. as we move more beds, then we need to figure out how do we stop more beds leaving? so i've asked that question, and i'm very -- you want to look at that. i also think that if following the direction of our proposal that we've put in front of you, we are going to submit that to the board of supervisors in terms of, you know, we have an incredible provider sitting here with us of jewish homes and services and she's very interested in
