BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp.189-193)
The three-member Commission on Quality of Care for the Mentally Disabled (CQC)
is an oversight agency independent of the other State mental hygiene agencies.
The CQC employs a staff of 93 to monitor care of persons served by the
mental hygiene system, as well as to investigate complaints of abuse and reports
of injuries and deaths of persons who are served within the system. In
addition, the CQC administers the Surrogate Decision-Making Committee program
which acts on behalf of persons in the mental hygiene system who are not
competent to make medical care decisions for themselves. Expansion of the
system to the Western New York and Finger Lakes Regions is proposed for State
Fiscal Year (SFY) 2001-02. Federal Funds support agency staff and contracts
with not-for-profit agencies to implement protection and advocacy programs for
the developmentally disabled, persons with mental illness and those with severe
disabilities. Commission programs providing protective services are: Technology
Related Protection and Advocacy, Protection and Advocacy for the Developmentally
Disabled, Client Assistance, Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Mental
Illness, and Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights. The Executive
proposes adding a new Ticket to Work and Work Incentive Improvement Protection
and Advocacy Program, to be funded through an anticipated federal grant. As part
of its oversight function, the Commission also conducts provider audits which
have generated savings for the mental hygiene system.
This agency is included in the Health, Mental Hygiene and Environmental
Conservation appropriation bill.
State Operations
The Executive requests an All Funds appropriation of $11,063,000, an increase of
$810,000. The change reflects:
--A net General Fund savings of $147,000 from shifting two full time
equivalent positions (FTE) to Special Revenue Other support, offset by
inflationary increases and negotiated salary increases;
--A net Special Revenue Funds Federal increase of $747,000, due primarily to
an anticipated grant for the Ticket to Work Program; and
--A net Special Revenue Funds Other increase of $210,000, reflecting the
transfer of two FTE positions from General Fund, a collective bargaining
adjustment and a fringe benefit savings.
Aid to Localities
The Executive recommends no changes to Aid to Localities funds from the State
Fiscal Year 2000-01 level.
