Joint management services -
Mr
FINCH - I have just made
an observation that the increase comes in each year: $6 000,
$5 000, $5 000; so the joint management services do have
enough expenditure to cover the Joint Management Services. Is
the expenditure able to cover the work that needs to be done in Joint
Management Services?
Mr
PRATT - Those increases
are the usual indexation that is applied to salaries.
Mr
FINCH - Would there be,
for instance, if they required more expenditure, is there a top- up
situation or are we able to hold to that budget?
Mr
PRATT - In normal
circumstances the Legislature-General would be able to hold to that
line. If additional expenditure is required then a request for
additional funding would be submitted.
Mr
FINCH - Thank you.
