I appreciate the Member’s passion for wellness courts and it’s something that I obviously support as well. But at the end of the day, a wellness court is dependent on the support of the judiciary, so we obviously have to make sure that the judiciary are comfortable with the programs and services that we provide.

There is significant money going into the wellness court in ’14-15. Eight hundred seven thousand dollars has been identified within the Department of Justice budget. It is in the Department of Justice budget but it is a collaborative effort and it’s taking the activities and the work of many departments to make this a reality, but the dollars did need to be located somewhere. So I don’t necessarily agree with the Member’s assessment of the situation that this department isn’t contributing, because we do have our people on the ground participating and meeting with the committee that’s put together.

I do know that the Department of Justice will be approaching the Members of the House to provide a comprehensive presentation on the wellness court and the services that are available under that, and it may be beneficial to maybe go to Mr. Ramsay to have him talk a little bit about the wellness court and what’s happening and the steps we’re taking. But we are making progress and we will see a wellness court in this fiscal year, providing that the judiciary does support.
