The tougher Community Behavioral Health Service cut is in substance abuse services -- over $6 million across a budget smaller than $60 million. These cuts are on top of several rounds of service cuts. This is despite the passage of Proposition T, the Treatment on Demand Act, and despite Mayor Newsom being the "biggest advocate for treatment in City Hall."
Community contractors are taking a $16 million hit from the health cuts. This does not include community cuts from DHS, DCYF, JPD, etc.
But as Dr. Katz said, it is difficult to dissect the whole Health Budget. Real damage will be done as the Department enacts "efficiencies". While creating efficiencies sounds good, the truth is that lots of administrative work will be transferred to health providers -- further clogging up the system. This will compromise the implementation of Healthy San Francisco, Gavin's marquee campaign plank.
