5. Hon STEPHEN DAWSON to the
Minister for Child Protection:
I refer to the Barnett government's
efficiency dividend from the Department for Child Protection and Family Support's
budget for the 2014–15 financial year.
(1) How much will be removed from
the department's budget as a result of the efficiency dividend?
(2) Will any staffing positions be
lost as a result of the savings measures?
(3) If yes to
(2), how many positions will be lost, where are the positions located and what
is the title of each position?
(4) Has the
department formulated a plan to implement the efficiency savings; and, if so,
will the minister table the plan?
(5) If no plan
currently exists to meet the savings measures, why has a plan not been
developed yet and when can the plan be expected?
