578 P.2d 42, 90 Wash. 2d 43, 1978 Wash. LEXIS 1184

Washington Supreme Court·Decided May 4, 1978·No. 45019·Published·Cited by 35 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The Court of Appeals affirmed a judgment in favor of the plaintiff at 17 Wn. App. 236, 562 P.2d 264 (1977).

We granted review on two issues: (1) whether a municipal corporation could delegate its duty to provide health care to a jail inmate and (2) whether the jury instructions properly defined the standard of care imposed upon the jail physician.

We have reviewed the record, the briefs, the opinion of the Court of Appeals and heard excellent oral argument.

We agree with the analysis, rationale and conclusion of the Court of Appeals. Judge Green's opinion is well reasoned. We adopt it and affirm the Court of Appeals.
