Thank you.
Coming back to correctional health care.
Does H&H receive any insurance reimbursement?
When providing care to individual incarcerated individuals?
No, we're federally precluded.
Okay.
Yeah, you're being bad.
In the executive plan, H&H has a total correctional health services budget of $3.44.7 million in fiscal 2026 and
$3.29.8 million in fiscal 2027.
What specific services are supported with the funding and how is the funding divided between medical services and mental health services?
We don't budget by medical or mental health services.
Many of our patients have needs on all sides.
We provide care on an individual basis, and we're staffed for whoever needs whatever they need.
Most of our funding is for, I think it's 95% was...
95% is for patient care.
95.
And 84% of that is personnel.
