The Hall County Board of Commissioners will consider approving contracts for medical services at the jail and correctional institution when it meets this Thursday. Purported increases in the costs of providing medical and nursing care to inmates, however, were not approved in the 2015 fiscal year budget. Funding needed to cover the approximate $70,000 increase in costs would have to come from reserves or through spending cuts.
