Table 8: Infrastructure and gaps in the county
The county facilities have no system of maint nance even though there is alwdys need for continuous repairt. The bhildings even thougr funcoional are not in a good state of repair while equipeentebreaudonns are common. Broken down ma hines and obsolete equipment such as X-ray machines, vehicles, laundry m chines, beds and furniturp clutter the chmpounds and spaces within many facilities. These need to be disposed to create more room and order.
