the year-end close process, the controller will adjust downward the transfer from the general fund into the hospitals. so each year, the general fund is kind of on the margin that comes in and fills the gap. if we can make that gap smaller, they'll just give us less general fund at the end of the year. and that will fall back into the pot of general fund that's available for appropriation through the budget process. >> supervisor wiener: for any use. >> exactly. >> supervisor wiener: presumably had this 10 million let's say come in last week your supplemental, you would be reduced that you're requesting would have been reduced by 10 million. >> that's correct. >> supervisor wiener: and then in terms of the sources for the supplemental, just to be clear -- a bunch of this money is really internal dph money that we're allocating, right? >> that's correct. so of the $38.7 million of total revenue, all except about $13 million of that is internal dph revenue in excess of budget. >> supervisor wiener: right. so the true give to the department is really from the two reserve funds. that money could have bee

the department of health budget we are about a $1.7 billion operation including san francisco general hospital and laguna hospital and extensive networks of primary care and substance abuse services. of our 1 had the $7 billion about 4 hundred and 50 million is city general fund subsidy for the 2013 focus year and the other is state and federal revenue. so as barbara said we have a large counter year deficit in the controls 6 month report it is $14.9 million and i'll let you know we've been working hard since the six months report to bring that number down and we've brought that down somewhat although your financial position is we're a significant draw on the city's if you believed just to support our operations in the current year. in terms of what's causing the deficit there's a number of things by the 4 categories we've got a instructional we face rapid cost inflammation that drives our costs up and we're facing continued state and federal revenue reductions and as part of our general operations weakness in the growth of our partial revenues throughout the system. again from the controllers

it has in the same level of excitement that i have seen in the rebuilding of general hospital and the uc medical center. every time we touch our health care system, we have something that promises a better life for people and barbara is as excited for this announcements as well. saint luke's are incredible institutions for san francisco. that's why we thought it would be best for the whole city to make this project happen because of the laws of the state of california that require that seismic upgrade of our health institutions, because of the tremendous pressure to improve san francisco and bay area and the economical structures that face this hospital and so many other hospitals. the job is never done. this is an announcement of where we are today, but we have to get this thing built, we have to make sure it's furnished like we are working on to make sure everything happens at a time when there is economic pressure and institutions coming from national decision that don't necessarily compliment the economic recovery that we are experiencing in the bay area. so, i want to put this in

my name is gus feldman with 2021, i am field representative for 1600 workers at san francisco general hospital right now, the report's certainly feeling the crunch of the budget deficit that was discussed today. and i think it's most -- i think feeling this most vierly, in the fact that many department directors, or division directors i should say have been directed to put a halt to all future hiring, our current hiring, and that has created a situation in which workloads have become unmanageable. it's created a situation in which patient care is being jeopardized, and which both patient and staff safety is being jeopardized. in the psychiatric unit it has been reduced to 12, the graveyard is staffed by two people, one rn and one psychiatric technician. we're concerned about this. as mr. wagner pointed out really well in his presentation, the full implementation of the affordable care act presents great opportunities for dph to bring in much-needed revenue. i think the approval of the supplemental at this time is critical. we can't allow the department to enter into 2016 without full staffing,
