In 2003-04 an amount of $135m was transferred within ACT Health to the Office of the Chief Health Officer following a reorganisation of functions.
In 2004-05 the Health Protection Services budget was reduced ($756,300) for the rent of the Holder property following the transfer of ownership of the property to ACT Health.
In 2005-06 the Health Protection Service was required to make efficiency savings of $0.160m. This was achieved through a reduction of one position in support services and one position in environmental health services, which delivered no loss of service to the community.
In 2006-07 the Smoke Free Area Regulation and Tobacco Licensing functions were transferred to the Department of Justice and Community Safety ($0.236m). In addition, the Health Protection Service was required as part of a range of whole of government initiatives to save on motor vehicle costs, procurement processes and information technology leasing costs. The budget reduction for these items totalled $0.187m. In 2006-07 the HPS was granted a budget initiative of $0.210m for the introduction of food safety programs, which offset the transfer of staff to the Department of Justice and Community Safety.
There have been variations to the budgets across the years largely due to changes to Commonwealth vaccination programs.
