Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation will decrease by $1.046 million to $9.295 million in 2011/12. This is due to: a reallocation of revenue Crown funded resources between output expenses ($1.161 million); a decrease in third party funded activity ($147,000); carry forward of underspends to 2012/13 ($98,000); overhead savings through amalgamation of New Zealand Food Safety Authority ($93,000); and reduced services to other public sector agencies ($7,000). These changes are offset by an expense transfer from 2010/11 to meet cost of amalgamation of Ministry of Fisheries ($460,000).
