<div id="stat.253B.05.1" style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>Subdivision 1.Emergency hold.</h2>
<p>(a) Any person may be admitted or held for emergency care and treatment in a treatment facility, except to a facility operated by the <a class="zem_slink" title="Minnesota" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=46.0,-94.0&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=46.0,-94.0 (Minnesota)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Minnesota</a> sex offender program, with the consent of the head of the treatment facility upon a written statement by an examiner that:</p>
<p>(1) the examiner has examined the person not more than 15 days prior to admission;</p>
<p>(2) the examiner is of the opinion, for stated reasons, that the person is <a class="zem_slink" title="Mental disorder" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">mentally ill</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Developmental disability" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_disability" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">developmentally disabled</a>, or chemically dependent, and is in danger of causing injury to self or others if not immediately detained; and</p>
<p>(3) an order of the court cannot be obtained in time to prevent the anticipated injury.</p>
<p>(b) If the proposed patient has been brought to the treatment facility by another person, the examiner shall make a good faith effort to obtain a statement of information that is available from that person, which must be taken into consideration in deciding whether to place the proposed patient on an emergency hold. The statement of information must include, to the extent available, direct observations of the proposed patient&#8217;s behaviors, reliable knowledge of recent and past behavior, and information regarding psychiatric history, past treatment, and current mental health providers. The examiner shall also inquire into the existence of health care directives under chapter 145, and advance psychiatric directives under section <a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes?id=253B.03#stat.253B.03.6d">253B.03, subdivision 6d</a>.</p>
<p>(c) The examiner&#8217;s statement shall be: (1) sufficient authority for a peace or health officer to transport a patient to a treatment facility, (2) stated in behavioral terms and not in conclusory language, and (3) of sufficient specificity to provide an adequate record for review. If danger to specific individuals is a basis for the emergency hold, the statement must identify those individuals, to the extent practicable. A copy of the examiner&#8217;s statement shall be personally served on the person immediately upon admission and a copy shall be maintained by the treatment facility.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
</div>
<div id="stat.253B.05.2" style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>Subd. 2.Peace or health officer authority.</h2>
<p>(a) A peace or health officer may take a person into custody and transport the person to a licensed physician or treatment facility if the officer has reason to believe, either through direct observation of the person&#8217;s behavior, or upon reliable information of the person&#8217;s recent behavior and knowledge of the person&#8217;s past behavior or <a class="zem_slink" title="Psychiatry" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">psychiatric treatment</a>, that the person is mentally ill or developmentally disabled and in danger of injuring self or others if not immediately detained. A peace or health officer or a person working under such officer&#8217;s supervision, may take a person who is believed to be chemically dependent or is intoxicated in public into custody and transport the person to a treatment facility. If the person is intoxicated in public or is believed to be chemically dependent and is not in danger of causing self-harm or harm to any person or property, the peace or health officer may transport the person home. The peace or health officer shall make written application for admission of the person to the treatment facility. The application shall contain the peace or health officer&#8217;s statement specifying the reasons for and circumstances under which the person was taken into custody. If danger to specific individuals is a basis for the emergency hold, the statement must include identifying information on those individuals, to the extent practicable. A copy of the statement shall be made available to the person taken into custody.</p>
<p>(b) As far as is practicable, a <a class="zem_slink" title="Law enforcement officer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_officer" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">peace officer</a> who provides transportation for a person placed in a facility under this subdivision may not be in uniform and may not use a vehicle visibly marked as a law enforcement vehicle.</p>
<p>(c) A person may be admitted to a treatment facility for emergency care and treatment under this subdivision with the consent of the head of the facility under the following circumstances: (1) a written statement shall only be made by the following individuals who are knowledgeable, trained, and practicing in the diagnosis and <a class="zem_slink" title="Treatment of mental disorders" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_of_mental_disorders" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">treatment of mental illness</a> or developmental disability; the <a class="zem_slink" title="Physician" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physician" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">medical officer</a>, or the officer&#8217;s designee on duty at the facility, including a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or an advanced practice registered nurse who after preliminary examination has determined that the person has symptoms of mental illness or developmental disability and appears to be in danger of harming self or others if not immediately detained; or (2) a written statement is made by the institution program director or the director&#8217;s designee on duty at the facility after preliminary examination that the person has symptoms of chemical dependency and appears to be in danger of harming self or others if not immediately detained or is intoxicated in public.</p>

The release may not be delayed pending the written order. Before deciding to release the person, the court shall make every reasonable effort to provide notice of the proposed release to:</p>
<p>(1) any specific individuals identified in a statement under subdivision 1 or 2 or individuals identified in the record who might be endangered if the person was not held;</p>
<p>(2) the examiner whose written statement was a basis for a hold under subdivision 1; and</p>
<p>(3) the peace or health officer who applied for a hold under subdivision 2.</p>
<p>(c) If a person is intoxicated in public and held under this section for detoxification, a treatment facility may release the person without providing notice under paragraph (d) as soon as the treatment facility determines the person is no longer a danger to themselves or others. Notice must be provided to the peace officer or health officer who transported the person, or the appropriate law enforcement agency, if the officer or agency requests notification.</p>
<p>(d) If a treatment facility releases a person during the 72-hour hold period, the head of the treatment facility shall immediately notify the agency which employs the peace or health officer who transported the person to the treatment facility under this section.</p>
<p>(e) A person held under a 72-hour emergency hold must be released by the facility within 72 hours unless a court order to hold the person is obtained. A consecutive emergency hold order under this section may not be issued.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<p>Parents of two children who’ve been at the <a class="zem_slink" title="Montana" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=47.0,-110.0&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=47.0,-110.0 (Montana)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Montana</a> Developmental Center in Boulder also testified for Senate Bill 254, saying the facility mistreated their kids and hasn’t provided proper care or treatment.</p>
<p>“Locking people away, specifically my daughter, is absolutely ludicrous,” said April Palmer of Forsyth. “She has a right to be in the community, to be in the least restrictive environment, so she can bloom, so she can be who God created her to be.”</p>
<p>Yet the state’s top health official spoke against the measure, saying community-based treatment centers simply aren’t ready to accept all of the clients housed at the Boulder facility.</p>
<p>“The goal is to get people treated in the communities as soon as possible, but there is a need for this facility,” said Richard Opper, director of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Department of State" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8941666667,-77.0483333333&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=38.8941666667,-77.0483333333 (United%20States%20Department%20of%20State)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">state Department</a> of Public <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Department of Health and Human Services" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8866666667,-77.0144444444&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=38.8866666667,-77.0144444444 (United%20States%20Department%20of%20Health%20and%20Human%20Services)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Health and Human Services</a>, which oversees MDC. “We think there will be (a need) for a long time. This bill absolutely puts the cart before the horse.”</p>
<p>Opper and supporters of SB254 spoke Friday before the Senate <a class="zem_slink" title="Public health" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_health" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Public Health</a> Committee, which took no immediate action.<span id="more-67"></span></p>
<p>Sponsored by Sen. <a class="zem_slink" title="Mary Caferro" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Caferro" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Mary Caferro</a>, D-Helena, SB254 would create a committee to plan the reduction of MDC’s population to no more than 12 people by the end of 2014.</p>
<p>The committee then would decide whether to keep a scaled-down facility at the Boulder campus or treat people at other state facilities.</p>
<p>Caferro told the committee that MDC treats about 50 clients at a cost of $270,000 per person per year, with a staff of some 250 people. Its residents are people with mental disabilities, some of whom also suffer from mental illnesses.</p>
<p>The state spends millions on clients at Boulder and about $40,000 a year on people in community programs, but still has a list of 1,200 people waiting for slots in community programs, she said. MDC also has 26 people ready for community-based slots, she added.</p>
<p>“This bill calls for stakeholders to develop a plan to de-institutionalize, which will develop a plan of <a class="zem_slink" title="Community service" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_service" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">community services</a> that the department must develop and carry out,” she said.</p>
<p>Advocates for the developmentally disabled said the state is wasting money on an outdated facility when it could and should be spending money on treating people in less restrictive, local programs.</p>
<p>“It’s a myth that we need this institution, and it’s a myth that this will prepare people to live in the community,” said Andree LaRose, an attorney who has represented the disabled clients in lawsuits.</p>
<p>Opponents included union representatives of workers at MDC and local officials from Boulder, who said the town and the facility provide a caring environment for the center’s residents.</p>
<p>Terry Minow of <a class="zem_slink" title="MEA-MFT" href="http://www.mea-mft.org/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">MEA-MFT</a>, a union representing nurses and other professional employees at the center, said the staff has been working hard in recent months to improve treatment and fix shortcomings in its care.</p>
<p>Minow, who lives near Boulder, also said townspeople have always welcomed clients, who enter exhibits in the county fair, go fishing in nearby rivers and streams, and visit local ranches.</p>
<p>“The clientele may have changed, but what hasn’t changed is Boulder’s support for those with developmental disabilities,” she said. “They are integrated into the community in many ways.”</p>
<p>Sen. <a class="zem_slink" title="Jim Keane (politician)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Keane_%28politician%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Jim Keane</a>, D-Butte, also testified against the bill, saying it takes a “meat ax” to a program just because it’s had some problems and failures in the past.</p>
<p>“If we were going to do this, we would be just shutting every state agency down,” he said.</p>

<p>SB 254 creates a responsible process to shift services for people with <a class="zem_slink" title="Developmental disability" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_disability" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">developmental disabilities</a> into community settings and close the <a class="zem_slink" title="Montana" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=47.0,-110.0&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=47.0,-110.0 (Montana)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Montana</a> Developmental Center.</p>
<p>This bill, sponsored by Sen. <a class="zem_slink" title="Mary Caferro" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Caferro" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Mary Caferro</a> would appoint two representatives of community providers, two parents or guardians of recently discharged residents from MDC, and advocates from MCDD and <a class="zem_slink" title="Digital rights management" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">DRM</a> to a committee to write a plan to close MDC that assures that services are appropriate, that the people are served, and the communities are kept safe.</p>
<p>As part of this plan, the Department of Public <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Department of Health and Human Services" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8866666667,-77.0144444444&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=38.8866666667,-77.0144444444 (United%20States%20Department%20of%20Health%20and%20Human%20Services)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Health and Human Services</a> will be required to discharge as many people as possible by December 31, 2014, with no more than 12 residents remaining at MDC by that date.  Currently, 26 of the 52 residents at the facility have been determined by MDC to be able to be served in the community, so the DPHHS should be in the process of placing them now. DPHHS then would have until December 2014 to place the remaining roughly 16 or more residents, depending on how many people, up to 12, would need to remain at MDC given their needs and lack of placements for secure care currently available in the community.<span id="more-68"></span></p>
<p>Eleven states and the <a class="zem_slink" title="Washington, D.C." href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8951111111,-77.0366666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=38.8951111111,-77.0366666667 (Washington%2C%20D.C.)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">District of Columbia</a> have now closed all of their ICF-MR facilities. <a class="zem_slink" title="Minnesota" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=46.0,-94.0&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=46.0,-94.0 (Minnesota)&amp;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Minnesota</a> was the most recent state to do so and it also issued an apology to people with developmental disabilities for its shameful history of institutionalization. ICF-MRs, like MDC, are remnants of this past system which required people, often children, to surrender their liberty to get care. Experts agree that it is not only possible but better to serve people in a network of community services than to isolate them in an institution away from their families.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 188px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MLA_Moira_Stilwell.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="English: Moira Stilwell, MLA for Vancouver-Langara" alt="English: Moira Stilwell, MLA for Vancouver-Langara" src="http://www.thaoandli.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/MLA_Moira_Stilwell.jpg" width="178" height="354" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">English: Moira Stilwell, MLA for Vancouver-Langara (Photo credit: Wikipedia)</p></div>
<p>I want to assure everyone in the community-living sector that our <a class="zem_slink" title="Government" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">government</a> is fully committed to improving supports for people with <a class="zem_slink" title="Developmental disability" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_disability" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">developmental disabilities</a> and their families.</p>
<p>We’re midway through implementing the 12 recommendations in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Deputy Minister (Canada)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deputy_Minister_%28Canada%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">deputy ministers</a>’ report released last January. This includes the development of an integrated <a class="zem_slink" title="Information Technology Infrastructure Library" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Technology_Infrastructure_Library" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">service-delivery</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="Model (person)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_%28person%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">model</a> to better serve people with developmental disabilities.</p>
<p>Once the 12-point plan is fully implemented and a new integrated service-delivery model is established, we will be able to reliably substantiate service demands and associated costs and <a class="zem_slink" title="Budget" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">budget</a> accordingly.</p>
<p>In the meantime, my ministry is closely monitoring this work and has responded, and will continue to respond, with additional dollars as required.</p>
<p>Since last January, we’ve made progress around improving services in some key areas.</p>
<p>All families with youth turning 19 now receive a minimum of $2,800 to pay for some respite services or another service if preferred, such as an employment program. We created an integrated services support team to give people with developmental disabilities and their families a dedicated place to turn to when they have concerns about the services they are receiving.<span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>We continue to engage extensively with families, self-advocates, communities and stakeholders, and we have put together a <a class="zem_slink" title="Reference group" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_group" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">reference group</a> to gather feedback from the broader community-living sector on the work we are doing to create a more integrated approach to service delivery.</p>
<p>The feedback from all of the consultations is helping to shape the design of an integrated service delivery model — which I anticipate being ready for review by government and cabinet later this year.</p>
<p>While we are making every effort to maximize the resources already available through Community Living B.C. and across ministries for individuals with developmental disabilities, we anticipate that the new integrated service delivery model will require additional funding.</p>
<p>Again, our government is fully committed to improving supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families. Until that new integrated service delivery model is rolled out, we will ensure CLBC has the money it needs to provide supports and services to individuals and families. We have flexibility within the budget to do this. We will spend the money necessary.</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 218px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moira_Stilwell.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="English: Moria Stilwell" alt="English: Moria Stilwell" src="http://www.thaoandli.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Moira_Stilwell.jpg" width="208" height="258" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">English: Moria Stilwell (Photo credit: Wikipedia)</p></div>
<p>Adults with <a class="zem_slink" title="Developmental disability" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_disability" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">developmental disabilities</a> have had a rough ride from the provincial government over the past couple of years, and they likely face more difficult times ahead.</p>
<p>The budget introduced on Tuesday calls for the amount of <a class="zem_slink" title="Money" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">money</a> spent on each client is going to drop significantly over the next three years.</p>
<p>How will those cuts be made?</p>
<p>Social <a class="zem_slink" title="Minister for Development Cooperation of Denmark" href="http://www.um.dk/da/menu/Udviklingspolitik/Udviklingsministeren/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Development Minister</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="Moira Stilwell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moira_Stilwell" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Moira Stilwell</a>’s answer is that the department is trying to be “<a class="zem_slink" title="Innovation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">innovative</a> and client-centred.” Those laudable goals don’t add up to a <a class="zem_slink" title="Plan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">plan</a>.</p>
<p>The <a class="zem_slink" title="Government budget" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_budget" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">government budgets</a> a small increase this year in the total amount of money it spends on adult community living, which funds clients in residential settings or assists them at home. In following years, it will be fixed at $738.8 million. However, it expects that the number of clients will continue to rise, so the amount spent on each person will go down.</p>
<p>The changes are dramatic. In residential services, the money spent per client drops from $70,926 in 2012-13 to $63,185 over three years. In personal supports, which help people who have disorders like autism along with developmental disabilities, the spending drops from $24,083 to $10,108 over the same period. The number of clients for personal supports is expected to more than double over those years, to 945.</p>
<p>The last time <a class="zem_slink" title="Community development" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_development" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Community</a> Living B.C. faced budget issues, its solution was to close <a class="zem_slink" title="Group home" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_home" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">group homes</a> and move people from longtime residences against their will. The resulting outcry led to the resignations of a minister and the CEO, an infusion of cash and an 18-month rebuilding plan, which is six months from completion.<span id="more-70"></span></p>
<p>Given that history, it will take a lot of “innovation” to match the cuts without harming the clients.</p>
<p>It appears as if the ministry was handed a fixed budget for the next three years and was left to divide it among its clients by simple arithmetic. The “how” will come later.</p>
<p>As Faith Bodnar of the advocacy group Inclusion B.C. points out, people with developmental disabilities are living longer. As they age, they face the same health issues that affect all seniors, so their care costs are bound to rise.</p>
<p>While they are aging, so are their parents, who are often their main caregivers. In time, the parents will be unable to look after them.</p>
<p>There are no easy answers. The government has limited options when it is trying to <a class="zem_slink" title="Balanced budget" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_budget" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">balance the budget</a>. More money for CLBC clients would mean cuts in other departments or tax increases for everyone.</p>
<p>But leaving the numbers hanging over the heads of these vulnerable people and their harried families verges on cruelty. The organizations that fought for them over the last couple of years are battered by the experience and dread having to do battle again.</p>
<p>Bodnar notes that if innovation is the key, the parents and supporters of developmentally disabled people have been doing that in B.C. since 1955, when they first organized to move children out of institutions and into community settings that were more humane and beneficial. Against professional advice and without government support, they “created something out of nothing,” she says.</p>
<p>Yet Bodnar says she has had no calls from the government for consultation on the budget fallout.</p>
<p>If the government has a plan for serving these vulnerable people effectively with less money, it must explain that plan so the families and agencies understand what is going on. If it doesn’t have a plan, it must start talking to those groups right away, because it will take a lot of “innovation” to turn those budget numbers into a roadmap that doesn’t create more grief for families who already have too much on their plates.</p>
