(2) If no output or output classes, can the Minister list the programs applicable for the department/agency.

(3) What is the budgeted cost for each program for 2010-2011.

(4) How much was spent on each program during the period 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010.

(5) What was the budgeted full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing for each program for 2010-2011.

(6) What was the actual FTE staffing for each program as at 31 December 2010.

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The ACT Government prepares its budget on an outputs basis. Data at that level is published in the Budget Papers, along with budgeted financial statements for agencies. More detailed information on activities within outputs is available in annual reports. This includes audited financial statements. Data is not available in the form and at the level requested without diversion of significant resources from the relevant agency’s ongoing business that I am not prepared to authorise.

Public service—annual leave
(Question No 1561)

Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, upon notice, on 16 February 2011:

(1) What is the policy of the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services as to the quantum of annual leave that staff can accumulate before being encouraged to take leave.

(2) Do staff lose annual leave entitlements if they do not take leave; if so, what are the policy rules that apply in that circumstance.

(3) What was the quantum of annual leave liability as at 31 December 2010 in both (a) hours and (b) dollars.

Ms Burch: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The Department’s policy and rules in relation to annual leave is outlined in the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services Enterprise Agreement 2010 – 2011 (Section F – Annual Leave) available on the ACTPS shared services website at: http://www.sharedservices.act.gov.au/docs/agreements/

(2) Staff do not lose their annual leave entitlements if they do not take leave.

(3) The quantum annual leave liability as at 31 December 2010 was:

(a) 184,635 hours; and

(b) $9,343,580. Note: given that substantial holiday leave is taken in January each year, these amounts would likely be considerably lower by the end of February 2011.
