NASW-NJ Testified at Joint Committee Hearing to Oppose DMHAS Transfer
On Tuesday, I testified before a joint Committee hearing on Governor Christie's plan to transfer the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Health.
Although this transfer is based upon the sound
concept of integrating behavioral and physical health services, the transfer is ill-timed and hastily developed. If implemented it would roil a market already facing major uncertainty during the Fee For Service transition.
At the hearing there was near-unanimous opposition from those who testified. The Assembly is convening on Monday, July 31st for a vote to oppose the shift, but the Senate has not yet declared an intention to oppose it. A joint resolution from the Assembly and Senate is required to block the transfer.
Call your Senators and Assemblymen today and urge them to
oppose the transfer of DMHAS to the Department of Health.
