| Capital Injections | 70,600 | (21,094) | The Department received additional capital funding for 2008/09 for the Capacity Management Programme and Effective Interventions. In addition to this, capital was transferred from 2007/08 to 2008/09. These movements are more than offset by a reduction in capital as the Department is partially self-funding previous capital expenditure decisions such as Spring Hill Corrections Facility, Otago Corrections Facility and Effective Interventions. |
