Council Member Morano asks where maternity and nursery services will go after Rikers

I'll end with this.

I have to ask about the city's plan to close Rikers Island because I think that's probably going to have ramifications across the board, including with respect to what we're talking about here.

We're talking today about a population with very specialized needs, and we've discussed maternity care, mental health treatment, a nursery, coordination with Elmhurst Hospital.

Under the borough-based jail plan, where exactly would the maternity and nursery services that are currently provided at the Rose M.

Singer Center be located?

As mentioned, right now it is slated for the Queens Detention Complex.

So that is where we are building.

But the capacity there would be, was it 482?

We currently have 482 women in our care.

It's approximately 450.

Thanks very much.

Recognizing Councilmember Hudson.

Thank you so much.
