Budget Cut Recommendation
This table represents all the areas that our funds are allocated. In an effort to trim-the-fat, I
classified the expenses in two categories: 1. Committed Costs and 2. Discretionary Costs.
You can clearly see on the table where our expenses lie. I classified the following as
Committed Costs that are ongoing and are necessary to the running of the Clinic. They are
as follows:
1. Psychiatrist
2. Social Workers
a. One in Out-Patient
b. One in In-Patient
3. Security
4. Secretaries
5. Supplies
6. Custodial (At least 50%)
For the Second Group, Discretionary, I divided it into two subcategories:
100% Cut
1. Assistant
2. Secretary
3. Professional Dues
Percentage Cuts
1. Advertising (75%)
2. Transportation (50%)
3. Consulting (75%)
The break down on the savings is as follows:
Discretionary
Advertising $6750 Professional Dues $14000
Consulting $7500 Secretary $21000
Transportation $5000 Assistant $35000
Total $19,250.00 $70,000.00
Or $89,250.00
To meet the budget and cut costs by $94,000.00, we have to look at areas that we can trim
the Custodial down by 40% which would add an additional $5200.00, to give us a grand
total of
$94,450.00
This allows us a little room and these are the needed minimal cuts to keep the clinic
functional and provide the least amount of disruption in care. In the future, we can cut out
