Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The increase in the Care and Protection output class mainly relates to:

  • a reallocation of overheads to reflect the impact of the merger with the Ministry of Social Development on 1 July 2006 ($13.100 million)
  • continuation of Care and Protection funding ($6.800 million)
  • funds for settlement of the CYF collective agreement ($5.245 million)

  • a transfer of resources from 2006/07 to 2007/08 for managing Historical Abuse claims ($3 million).
