I refer to the Economic Audit Committee Final Report Recommendation (3) that, ‘To support the strategic management of the public sector, adopt an ‘Outcome Area’ approach by:
(a) grouping related areas of service delivery (for example, health, child protection) that are focused on ongoing citizen expectations of Government for core services;
(b) identifying matters that cross traditional agency boundaries;
(c) designating lead roles and accountabilities in policy development across each Outcome Area;
(d) reporting (at least annually) to Cabinet within each Outcome Area to facilitate planning, decision making and accountability; and
(e) establishing groups of senior executives from across Agencies to provide leadership across each Outcome Area’,
and I ask -
(1) What grouping of related areas of service delivery (for example, health, child protection) are currently under active consideration by Government?
(2) What is the timeframe for the grouping of related areas of service delivery?
(3) Where groupings of related areas of service delivery do occur, can the Government give an undertaking that no public sector jobs will be lost?
(4) Has the Economic Audit Committee or another body identified matters that cross traditional agency boundaries?
(5) If yes to (4), what are they?
(6) Has the Economic Audit Committee or another body, designated lead roles and accountabilities in policy development across each Outcome Area?
(7) If yes to (6), what are they?
(8) Will the Minister advise the Outcome Areas established to date?
(9) If no to (8), why not?
(10) How many groups of senior executives will be established from across Agencies to provide leadership across each Outcome Area?
(11) Have these groups been established yet and if so, who heads up each of the groups?
(12) If no to (11), when will they be established?
(13) How will savings be achieved by implementing recommendation three?
(14) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number three of the Economic Audit Committee?
