The agency answers to this and related questions are expected to cover all expenditures including day to day costs such as system maintenance and licence fees. Across all agencies expenditure would have been in excess of $10m per annum more if the shared services model was not being introduced.
Estimates Committee Supplementary Information Question 42 was recently answered and had a much narrower focus in that it asked for the names and numbers of departments that did not comply with the directive by the Director General Department of the Premier and Cabinet as to the need for agencies to consider deferring any decision to upgrade or replace corporate service systems. Hence, the figures in the two sets of answers cannot be directly compared.
Department of the Premier and Cabinet advises:
(a-c) Nil
(d) $4,023.25
(e-f) Nil
(g) $1,091.48
(h) $2,641.10
(i) Nil
Department of Industry and Resources:
Please refer to question on notice 2387.
Office of the Public Sector Standard Commissioner advises:
