Mixed signals on plans to yank patients out of Zambarano state hospital

It came out on the morning before a House Oversight Committee hearing on the hospital downsizing plan that new Gov. Dan McKee inherited from former Gov. Gina Raimondo that appears to be underway — without legislative approval - with closed-admissions and an aggressive campaign to discharge patients.
And it came to light soon after the Department of Health denied the public records request UNAP Local 5019 has been pressing since November. 
McKee has not responded to repeated entreaties from state Rep. Jessica de la Cruz and Rep. David Place to intervene.
Shortly after 5 p.m., however, his spokewoman Andrea Palagi told The Journal: "An engineering firm was sent to check and address the issues specified by the Fire Marshal – they expect a 24-hour fix. The Fire Marshal and the engineering firm both confirm that it is not necessary to move patients."
