CL1The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors closed General Hospital in 2003 and subsequently all the county medical clinics in 2004. The results of these closures have been reviewed by the 2007/2008 County Grand Jury. The County has saved on average more than $3.5 million for each year the clinics and hospital have been closed. Significant improvement in medical care for county patients has occurred since the County contracted out its health care responsibilities to the private sector. The Grand Jury believes the results of its investigation support the decisions of the Board of Supervisors to close these facilities. Patient care has improved and the County has saved significant resources. 2007-2008 San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury Report CLOSURE OF COUNTY'S GENERAL HOSPITAL
