Mr. Chairman, we anticipated that there would be a savings of $400,000 making this move across to the Department of Health. We removed $400,000 from Personnel's budget in anticipation of the savings we would get by moving it to Health. The move did not take place and now we're replacing the money we had originally taken out of their budget. So, it is not costing us over and above what has been happening historically. In anticipation of savings, we reduced their budget and we're merely replacing it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
