2. In 2009 the Committee had reported that it was extremely concerned that despite the rehabilitation and social reintegration objectives contained in the White Paper on Corrections, and echoed in the DCS' core mandate, Development, Care and Social Reintegration programmes remain under- funded. The Committee had then recommended that the budget be supported and undertook that it would interact with the DCS to monitor whether there is synergy between strategic objectives and budget allocation. The 2010/11 budget does not reflect such synergy, and thus it is difficult to believe the DCS' claim that it is placing rehabilitation at the centre of its activities.
