Transcript	HCWPC Harris County Women's Political Caucus 3602milam houston 77002 (713)524-5743 NEWSLETTER, AUGUST SUPPORT FOR JEFF DAVIS NURSES PAYS OFF Commissioner Tom Bass recently notified the hospital board, the caucus, and the other commissioners that research he has conducted has convinced him that "There have been some rather serious problems at Jeff Davis that have not been properly handled." Commissioner Bass went on to say that he was not interested in taking "pot shots" at anybody, but rather in "seeing that the citizens of Harris County get the finest health care service possible from our expenditure of tax funds." In a letter to hospital board chair Quentin Mease the commissioner also lamented the fact that "some administrators are more Interested In rationalising and defending their own position than they are in rectifying an obviously bad situation." Commissioner Bass also placed himself and Nancy Gehman of his staff at the disposal of the committee investigating Jeff Davis. He further urged the hospital board to invite the American Public Health Association to assist In the investigation of problems at Jeff Davis. Surely our coalition's efforts can take some credit for Inspiring Commissioner Bass and his able staff person Nancy Gehman to research the situation. The following were among their findingsi Nov. 3. 1973i I understand that Dr. Peter Norton (0B- GYN) submitted reports documenting inadequate care of three separate patients. I have been unable to either locate or find out what happened to these reports. Nov. 8. 1973i "We are running Into a very critical situation with the lack of adequate numbers of personnel...1 don't think thereyis any area In the city of Houston that compares with the activity, tensions and stress under which persons are forced to work in this ar ...I can almost promise you that we are going to run into repeated catastrophes unless the current situation Is corrected." Excerpts of a memo- cont. next pg.
