Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 7 Hansard (1 July) . . Page.. 2020 ..


MS CARNELL

(continuing):

� these instruments relate to the 1998-99 financial year,

� these instruments provide for:

=>the transfer of appropriations between output classes within the Department of Education and Community Services. This represents the refinement of cost attribution across the output classes. The changes do not affect the service levels nor the total DECS GPO.

=>the transfer of appropriations between output classes within the Department of Justice and Community Safety. This represents the reclassification functions between output group classes.

Mr Speaker, I commend this paper to the Assembly.
