How many computers have been reported stolen or lost in the Ministry of Justice in - (a) 1997-98; (b) 1998-99; and (c) 1999-2000? Hon PETER FOSS
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. Asset items that are lost or stolen from the ministry are reported to the assets area and the details of the item, the circumstances, and other information, such as the police report number, are recorded. These reports and follow-up action are compiled on a file. At the end of each year a new file is commenced. Two computers have been reported stolen in the 2000-01 year to date. To compile the figures on computers lost or stolen for past years would require a manual clerical process to retrieve the information from those past year files. If the member wishes the details for the past years, I ask that she put the question on notice.
