I refer to the answer to Legislative Council question on notice No. 1935, which states that $11 million of savings have been identified within the Department of Education and Training in 2004-2005 from general operating Budgets and the removal of duplication of service delivery, and I ask -
(1) Please list all operating budgets that have been reduced to achieve these savings?
(2) For each of the operating budgets in (1), by how much has each budget been reduced, both in dollar and real percentage terms?
(3) Please list the services that have been identified as being duplicated as part of these savings?
(4) How much will be saved in by the consolidation of each of these services?
