Mendota is an integral part of the mental health delivery system of the State providing educational services, consultation including program auditing, research services and specialized direct patient services in relation to the local mental health programs in 40 counties. One of the specialized programs--the treatment for the mentally ill deaf person--is available on a statewide basis. Winnebago has a statutory responsibility for providing specialized psychiatric research, training, consultation and quality control services and for monitoring county programs for counties in the northern and eastern half of the State.

It also serves as the facility for the evaluation and treatment of the mentally ill female criminal offender from throughout the State and serves as the facility for the transfer of inmates of the Wisconsin Home for nearby Taycheedah when psychiatric services are needed. Also, it serves, the entire State as the facility for the tuberculosis mentally ill. SINCE COMMUNITIES were assuming responsibility for provision of primary mental health care, the hospitals populations began declining. As a result they went into the fields of research, training and community consultation. A total of 306 positions have been deleted from the two institutions and another 90 will be deleted by June 30, 1975 unless the Legislatures Joint Finance Committee decides otherwise.

Of these, 201 would be transferred to Mendota, 411 would lose their jobs and six would remain. Ninety of those positions would be deleted by July 1, 1975.

SOME LEGISLATORS believe that Winnebago is a more efficient institution and is better equipped. Its population is more than twice that of Mendota while its staff is nearly the same. Winnebago currently has 366 inpatients plus 67 outpatients for a total of 433 people under its care while Mendota has 178 inpatients and 56 outpatients for a total of 234 undbr care. Winnebagos staff is 618 people while Men-dotas is 621. Mendota has a capacity of 692 while Winnebago has 131 more square feet of usable space, 461 more beds for patients; immediate use and 120 per day higher patient average.
