(a) Please refer to Appendix 5 of the 2009-10 Mid-year Review, pages 114-115, which provides a breakdown by agency of the 3% efficiency dividend savings.
(b) As detailed in the 2009-10 Budget and updated for implementation status in the 2009-10 Mid-year Review, all 3% efficiency dividend savings have been reflected in the ongoing budget allocation of agencies. On this basis, there is considered to be no ongoing need to specifically highlight and report efficiency dividend savings. Having rolled out these savings, the Department of Treasury and Finance's focus is ensuring that agencies operate within their overall approved financial parameters.
