Part 2 - Details and Expected Performance for Output Expenses#

Part 2.1 - Departmental Output Expenses#

Escort and Custodial Supervision (M18)

Scope of Appropriation

Provides for transportation of prisoners to and from court and their custody while at court.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation will increase by $1.212 million to $12.179 million for 2007/08.

This is largely due to:

  • a transfer of appropriation due to higher than anticipated prisoner escorts and supervision volumes, and
  • an additional appropriation for the implementation of waist restraints.

Prisoner Employment (M18)#

Scope of Appropriation#

Provision of prisoner employment, including the provision and administration of work experience and training opportunities designed to help address the underlying causes of criminal re-offending.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation will increase by $6.172 million to $44.567 million for 2007/08. This is largely due to higher than expected external revenue and the associated expenditure as a result of new ventures and improved prices for milk solids.

Rehabilitative Programmes and Reintegrative Services (M18)#

Scope of Appropriation#

Provision of prison and community-based responsivity and rehabilitative programmes, reintegrative services and psychological services designed to address the underlying causes of criminal re-offending.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation will increase by $8.293 million to $59.128 million for 2007/08.

This is largely due to:

  • a realignment of internal resources to ensure the delivery of the Department's performance targets, and
  • a realignment of recent Cabinet approvals.

Services to New Zealand Parole Board (M18)#

Scope of Appropriation#

Provides for services to the New Zealand Parole Board relating to the provision of administrative, financial and secretariat services.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

This appropriation will increase by $1.505 million to $7.213 million for 2007/08. This is largely due to the realignment of recent Cabinet approvals.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

Departmental Capital Expenditure was previously disclosed in the Department's Statement of Intent.

This appropriation was forecast at $172.589 million for 2007/08. The decrease of $40.643 million is due to a review of the Department's capital programme, which resulted in a capital transfer from 2007/08 to 2008/09.
