The Department of Justice advises as follows: 1 (a) Actual gross cost of services exceeded budget by $22.4 million. (b) Actual capital works spending was under budget by $7.7 million. 2 (a) The capital works underspending of $7.7 million was mainly due to: · $2.1 million funds for Microsoft licensing not required for 2003/04 and returned to Treasury; · $1.8 million savings resulting from a delay in the commencement of a new contract for outsourced IT services; and · Variations against other projects as detailed on pages 218 and 219 of the Department of Justice 2003-04 Annual Report. (b) The overspending of $22.4 million against gross cost of services was mainly due to: · A $9.4 million increase in the provision for Judicial Pensions; · An $11.9 million increase in Adult Offender Management costs, due to above budget prisoner muster, salary costs and building maintenance; and · Other variations as detailed on page 217 of the Department of Justice 2003-04 Annual Report. (3) No (4) Not applicable
