The instrument authorises a net total of $36.018 million in capital injection rollovers and payments for expenses on behalf of the territory for the Health Directorate. The rollovers include $38.311 million underspent on the controlled capital injection appropriation, offset by the acceleration of nine capital projects totalling $2.552 million, and $259,000 of payments for expenses on behalf of the territory appropriation.

These rollovers have been made as the appropriation relates to project funds where commitments have been entered into, but the related cash has not yet been required or expended during the year of appropriation. The capital injection rollovers include $14.546 million for the continuation and completion of the e-healthy future project, $4.963 million for the continuation and completion of the provision for project definition planning, $4.528 million for the completion of the linear accelerator procurement and replacement project, $2.517 million for the financial completion of the Canberra Hospital new multistorey car park, $2.356 million for costs associated with clinical equipment for the Calvary hospital and $2.142 million for costs associated with the women’s and children’s hospital. Details relating to these and the other rollovers and overspends are provided in the instrument. I commend the paper to the Assembly and again apologise for the delay. I move:

That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
