(1) The reduction is attributable to the transfer to mainstream agencies of programs, which were funded predominately by grants. The role of the Aboriginal Affairs Department (AAD), in line with State Government policy, is to work with mainstream agencies such as Health, Education, Justice etc, in order to provide them with the information they require to provide services to Aboriginal people. (2) As the transfer of programs is to agencies with greater capacity and expertise in the delivery of infrastructure, essential services, policing etc, these Government services will be provided to Aboriginal people more effectively and more efficiently in the future. (3-4) The grants will not be issued by AAD but by the agencies to whom the programs have been transferred. (5) No (6) Not applicable. (7) Yes, see (Paper No____) (8) Not applicable (9) Yes, see (Paper No_____) (10) Not applicable. (11) The major reason for the difference is the number of once-off grant payments in 1999/00 funded from carryover funds from the 1998/99 year. (12) As part of the State Government's commitment to law and order, the Aboriginal Communities Patrol Scheme received additional funding.
