(c) public relations and events management?
Western Australia Police Service The Western Australia Police Service receives its budget appropriation centrally. The budget, with the exception of centrally administered funding allocations such as payroll and FBT, is then devolved to the various portfolios, regions, districts, sections and police stations (cost centres). The categories used to record budget plans within the various cost centres are too broad to allow the required information to be collected from central records without substantial resources being redirected from other higher priority activities. The Western Australia Police Service has advised that it is impossible to provide the required information in the detail the Honourable Member has requested. If the member can provide a more specific request a further response may be provided. Fire and Emergency Services FESA's chart of accounts does do not provide the flexibility to construct a concise response. However, the majority of related transactions should be captured within the following expenditure categories within the 2001-02 Budget Statements: · Advertising and Promotion; and · Consumable Supplies. It must be noted that FESA Divisions have discretionary funds which they may apply to the various safety campaigns if necessary. However, further detail would require extensive analysis of transaction information and I am not prepared to divert the valuable resources of FESA away from core duties.
