mr. ginsberg. i think the department is definitely improving. we have to credit mr. ginsburg for that. since we are having today's hearing on recreation and park, i would like to pull the contrasting idea. i was wondering whether there was ever a similar budget update for the department of public health during the last fiscal review. i am not sure whether it happened. since recreation and park is important enough for this budget update, since department of public health is the greatest general fund user, i would think this committee would support a budget update for the department of public health. it is so important especially to the needy and immigrant population in the city. it deserves a very similar, if not identical, hearing like the one we are doing now. so if we can justify the time and expense for recreation and park and learn a lot from mr. ginsberg, we ought to have the department of public health up here giving a similar presentation, and hopefully some good results. i suspect results will not be as good as recreation and park. thank you. chairperson chu: thank you very muc
