A. Included in this appropriation is $150,000 the first year and $150,000 the second year from the general fund to support the Department's telemedicine program. Such funds as may be required for the Department's telemedicine program shall be provided from appropriations for medical and clinical services and any inmate fees collected for medical services.


B. The Department of Corrections shall develop a long-term plan for housing geriatric inmates and inmates needing assisted living care. The plan, including recommendations for capital improvements needed to implement it, shall be presented to the Governor and Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees by July 1, 1999.


C. In the event the Department does not enter into a contract by July 1, 1998, for the provision of medical care to inmates at the Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women and Sussex I State Prison, the Director of the Department of Planning and Budget is authorized to increase the Department's general fund positions by 89 positions.


D. The Department of Corrections shall identify in detail the causes of increases in the costs of providing medical services to inmates and determine if there are any feasible means of limiting future increases in such costs. The analysis of alternative methods of service delivery shall include an examination of the cost-effectiveness of using private contractors to operate both prison clinics and infirmaries. The department shall report its findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Public Safety by June 30, 2000.
