Dear Mr. Chairman:


     On June 6, 1978, you     Ie   that we review the
District of Columbia Government's~use of the additional
$2,738,600 1/ and 188 positions) ,rovided by the Congress in
fiscal year 1977 to Forest Haved, a residential facility for
the care and treatment of the mentally retarded. Specifi-
cally, you wanted to know the extent to which these addi-
tional resources helped Forest Haven to comply with Federal
sta nr-d- une-rte Medica-id program and t-he -eich
it nw comp-1         them.  o  he extent that Forest Haven
stil-ldoes not comply with Federal standards, you also wanted
to kw      .........e .....eiciencis are4ihy  continue to exist,
and what adto-e rnn t correct-them. (As
agreed with your office, we also reviewed administrative and
management matteRrs including procurement, maintenance, and
use of overtime-.

     Our review disclosed that: /'

     --Medicaid-covered facilities continue to have program
       and safety deficiencies, including life safety defi-
       ciencies and problems dispensing medications, but
       improvements are being-made.


l/The House of Representatives added $1,000,000 and 99 posi-
  tions to the District's budget request to correct Medicaid
  deficiencies. The Senate (1) retained the amount and
  positions added by the House, (2) added $3,213,200 and
  188 positions for the same purpose, and (3) reduced the
  base budget by $474,600. In effect, the Senate increased
  the House-approved amount by $2,738,600 and 188 positions.
