Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $2.370 million to $56.148 million for 2013/14. This is due to: increase in demand driven third party-funded activity ($2.312 million); a reallocation of revenue Crown-funded resources between output expenses ($53,000); expense transfer from 2012/13 for the Ministry for Primary Industries organisational transformation programme ($5,000); and transfer of capital funding for the Ministry for Primary Industries Electronic Content Management System that will now be purchased as a service ($6,000). These changes are offset by reduced services to other public sector agencies ($6,000).
