So something's not right.
3:37:50
Commissioner because I don't think I'm getting any answers here from the deputy commissioner.
3:37:53
Could you help me?
3:37:54
What is being done to reverse this trend and to try and address this?
Lynelle Maginley-Liddie
3:37:57
So we are working internally as a department to ensuring people are getting access to minimum standards.
3:38:03
The team is actually developing an audit protocol to making sure people are getting what they need.
3:38:09
That that is ongoing and we expect to have something in the coming weeks on that.
3:38:14
But that is what we're doing.
3:38:16
We understand that we have challenges.
3:38:17
We know that there are issues.
3:38:19
But first, the first thing is to admit that I promise to address that.
3:38:23
And that is what we are doing.

3:38:24
Thank you.
3:38:25
I I we would be very interested in understanding what is being done to further address this chair, if it'd be okay for me, just do two more topics.
3:38:33
Thank you.
3:38:34
The it's it's a seriously concerning trend for the health and well-being of the people that are in your care.
3:38:42
We've seen 2 dozen plus fatalities on Rutgers Island since the mayor came into office.
3:38:48
Making sure people have access to the health care they need is life and death.
3:38:51
And so that's I I raise these issues with the most alarming concern that I can muster.
