Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will increase by $316,000 to $2.025 million in 2011/12. This is due to: a reallocation of revenue Crown funded resources between output expenses ($217,000); an expense transfer from 2010/11 to meet cost of amalgamation of Ministry of Fisheries ($100,000); increase in services to other public sector agencies ($17,000); and increase in third party funded activity ($7,000). These changes are offset by overhead savings through amalgamation of New Zealand Food Safety Authority ($16,000) and carry forward of underspends to 2012/13 ($9,000).
