Part 2.1 - Departmental Output Expenses
Information and Payment Services MCOA (M36)
Scope of Appropriation
This appropriation is limited to the provision of information technology services and the publication of data derived from these services to the health and disability system.
Payment Services
This output class is limited to the administration and audit of contracts and payments on behalf of the Crown and Crown agencies.
Explanation for Use of Multi-Class Output Expense Appropriation
These two output expenses under this MCOA are grouped together as sector focused services. Both of these outputs form the basis of a shared service to support the health and disability system. A shared service approach supports a more unified approach that will lead to more efficient systems to reduce costs and maximise information sharing. This grouping provides a high level of transparency for these functions.
