While ACT Health has data covering the costs of the employment of staff, it maintains this material in broader categories than that being requested. That is, employment costs of medical officers, administrative officers, technical officers and the like are not generally costed and recorded at the particular grade and increment level applying to an individual employee. There are approximately 60 such classification grades and further increment levels within these classifications.

Additionally, the non-salary material such as superannuation, allowances and remuneration on-costs can vary considerably at an individual level. For example, superannuation costs vary depending on whether an individual is a member of the CSS, PSS schemes or has the minimum community entitlement.

Extracting the data, to the extent that it could be broken down in accordance with the request, would require significant resources to obtain the information and to ensure its accuracy. Therefore, ACT Health considers this to be resource intensive as per 12.28 in the Companion to the standing orders.
