Community Services Directorate—outputs and savings
(Question No 202)

Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, upon notice, on 28 November 2013:

(1) Further to Output Class 3.1 Community relations in the Community Services Directorate in Budget Paper 4 of the 2013-2014 Budget Papers, will the Minister provide a breakdown of the supporting programs and initiatives for each output, including (a) the value of funding for each program/initiative, (b) dates of commencement and completion (or ongoing) for each program/initiative and (c) performance measures for each program/initiative.

(2) What are the staff numbers and corresponding employment levels for each output.

(3) Will the Minister provide a list of capital works and upgrades for each of the listed outputs and, where applicable, include (a) a list of identified savings, (b) the value of identified savings, (c) program/initiative impacts as a result of these savings and (d) staffing impacts as a result of these savings.

Ms Burch: 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 Community Services Directorate’s ongoing business that I am not prepared to authorise.
