Health: Bcfs Health and Access

health: Instead, Tornillo is using checks conducted by a private contractor that has access to less comprehensive data, thereby heightening the risk that an individual with a criminal history could have direct access to children, the memo says, according to CTV. In addition, the federal government is allowing the non-profit running the facility -- BCFS Health and Human Services -- to sidestep mental health care requirements. None of the 2,100 staffers at a tent city holding more than 2,300 teens in the remote Texas desert are going through rigorous FBI fingerprint background checks, according to a Health and Human Services inspector general memo published Tuesday. Under federal policy, migrant youth shelters generally must have one mental health clinician for every 12 kids, but the federal agency's contract with BCFS allows it to staff Tornillo with just one clinician for every 100 children. BCFS acknowledged to the AP that it currently has one mental health clinician for every 50 children at Tornillo. That's not enough to provide adequate mental health care, the inspector general office said in the memo. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
