On the heels of terminating 10,000 jobs from the Department of Health and Human Services this week, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told ABC News some programs would soon be reinstated because they were mistakenly cut.

Kennedy's comments were in response to a question about a branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that monitors lead levels among children and manages prevention across the country. The program was gutted on Tuesday.

"There were some programs that were cuts that are being reinstated, and I believe that that's one," Kennedy said.

Kennedy said other programs across HHS would be reinstated as well.
