Information:<br />
Special Issues: Budgetary crises and the need to deliver more appropriate care to children and youth lead to the<br />
closing of New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH), and the provision of more outpatient,<br />
family and child-centered services. This reorganization of service delivery resulted in a cost<br />
savings for the state, with additional efficiencies in delivering appropriate mental health care to<br />
children and adolescents. FY 10 Actual = $34,369,783 / $221,642,483 X 100 = 16%.<br />
Significance: Providing support to children and youth with an emotional or behavioral disorder can contribute to<br />
healthy families and communities<br />
Action Plan: Appropriate expenditures and accurate accounting will continue to be provided ensuring the proper<br />
usage of <strong>Block</strong> <strong>Grant</strong> funds according to the allocations specified in the Intended Use Plans. The<br />
<strong>Block</strong> <strong>Grant</strong> indicators will be monitored through the Committee on Programs and <strong>Services</strong> of the<br />
Louisiana <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Planning Council. The Planning Council Committee on Programs and <strong>Services</strong><br />
is responsible for monitoring and evaluation of the mental health system and for recommending service<br />
system improvements to the Council. Attempts to provide improved services are a priority for<br />
Louisiana, but with the economic and workforce crisis in the state, it is important to be realistic when<br />
setting targets.<br />
