Walker says county addressing Mental Health Complex problems

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker issued the following statement Thursday night regarding problems at the county's Mental Health Complex:
"I take extremely seriously the needs of nfl jerseys those individuals with mental illness in our community and those families and individuals who care for them.
"The county has already begun several proactive steps, including changes in staffing, oversight, protocol and forming a community advisory group to ensure that the county is successful at caring for people suffering from mental illness."
Walker's remarks were contained in an e-mail response to questions on the complex and the disciplinary actions against any county employees.
Walker said the decision to suspend Karl Strelnick, a Mental Health Complex psychiatrist, on Thursday was "a personnel decision based on efforts to improve patient care."
Strelnick was involved in two cases that led to federal declarations that patients were in jeopardy.
Walker said decisions on any other potential disciplinary charges of Kansas City Chiefs jersey Mental Health Complex employees would be made by Geri Lyday, interim director of the county's Department of Health and Human Services, and by the interim administrator of the county's Behavioral Health Division. That person has not yet been named, following the demotion of John Chianelli, the current behavioral health administrator.
Walker said the unnamed administrator of behavioral health would determine who would take over Strelnick's duties. Strelnick oversaw more than 120 patients at the complex.
