GOVERNMENT AGENCIES —
EXPENSE LIMIT OUTCOMES
1271. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I refer to the 2023–24 Annual
report on state finances revealing on page 20 that the financial target ''key
service delivery agency recurrent spending
outcomes are in line with budgeted expense limits'' will not be met in
2024–25 , either as budgeted estimated actuals or actuals.
(1) Which agencies will not meet
their budgeted expense limits in 2024–25?
(2) By what amount will each of
these agencies exceed their budgeted expense limits in 2024–25?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Page
20 of the 2023–24 Annual report on state finances refers to the
estimate of the 2023–24 outturn in the 2024–25 budget and not
to the 2024–25 spending outcome. It is too early in the year to know
spending outcomes for agencies.
