NON-GOVERNMENT
SERVICE PROVIDERS — EFFICIENCY DIVIDEND
222. Hon SUE ELLERY to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I think the answer has been
provided.
I refer to the 17 April announcement
of a two per cent efficiency dividend on agencies in 2012–13, and a
further one per cent in each of the out years to 2015–16.
(1) What impact,
if any, will this have on the second component of payment of moneys to the
non-government sector announced in last year's budget?
(2) Will any of
the moneys allocated to the Departments of Finance or Treasury as part of that
package to provide education, training and support and monitoring of the
rollout of the additional funding and contracting reforms be impacted by the
efficiency dividend?
