More mental health woes for the state: federal inspectors cited multiple violations at the new Central Regional Hospital in Butner, threatening its ability to receive Medicaid payments.
In little more than a year, all four of North Carolina's remaining state-run mental hospitals have now either lost or been threatened with losing accreditation because of patient deaths or incidents of abuse and neglect.
Yes, it was to deal with problems at the state hospitals that mental health reform started in 2001. But the problem is privatization.
