1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends

Total Vote: All Appropriations

Vote Health has grown from actual expenditure in 2014/15 of $15,034 million to budgeted expenditure in 2019/20 of $19,871 million, an increase of $4,837 million over five years. This has mainly been driven by increases to:

  • Output Expenses, which were $14,318 million in 2014/15 and are budgeted at $18,111 million in 2019/20 - an increase of $3,793 million, and
  • Capital Expenditure, which was $689 million in 2014/15 and is budgeted at $1,713 million in 2019/20 - an increase of $1,024 million.
Output Expenses

The growth in the Vote's Output Expenses is mainly in funding provided to DHBs to address demographic and cost pressures. Their appropriations for 2019/20 are budgeted at $13,980 million, an increase of $2,536 million over the actual expenditure in 2014/15. In addition to this expenditure, DHBs are typically contracted by the Ministry of Health for additional national services. In some cases, this funding is being devolved to DHBs, making them directly responsible for services previously administered nationally.

Also contributing to the growth are increases in funding for national services administered by the Ministry of Health, such as disability support services and various public and personal health services. The 2019/20 appropriations for these national services are budgeted for $3,221 million which is $758 million greater than the actual expenditure in 2014/15. The main drivers of the increase are the Crown's ongoing investment in:

  • disability support services, which has increased by nearly $219 million since 2014/15
  • primary health care strategy, which has increased by nearly $176 million since 2014/15, and
  • additional planned care (elective) services, which has increased by $106 million since 2014/15.

Funding for the support, oversight, governance, and development of the health and disability sectors has also grown. Actual expenditure of $411 million in 2014/15 has increased to budgeted expenditure in 2019/20 of $911 million. The increase is mainly in funding to support pay equity.

Other Expenses

Vote Health also provides funding for Other Expenses, such as grants to support the development of service providers in the health and disability sector, and to fund international health organisations. It also funds the defence and settlement of legal claims. This expenditure is budgeted to grow to $46 million in 2019/20 from the actual expenditure of $26 million in 2014/15, largely driven by investment in Provider Development.

Capital Expenditure

The Crown continues to provide capital for sector infrastructure. Appropriations for 2019/20 are $1,548 million, compared to actual expenditure of $652 million in 2014/15. As in previous years, this includes funding for multi-year projects and provision for some future expenses or risks.

There is $165 million of other capital expenditure appropriated for 2019/20. This comprises equity injections to district health boards to address working capital requirements, residential care loans, and authority for the Ministry of Health to purchase or develop assets for its use.

In 2016/17, additional capital funding of $2,415 million was provided to replace DHBs' Crown loans with equity. This resulted in a significant increase in the capital expenditure appropriated in that year. See Summary of Financial Activity table in Part 1.2.

Crown Revenue and Capital Receipts

Vote Health receives Crown Revenue from ACC for the purchase of public health acute and other services from DHBs, and capital charge revenue from Crown Entities in the health sector. The ACC revenue has increased from $475 million in 2014/15 to forecast revenue of $553 million in 2019/20. The capital charge revenue has grown from $194 million in 2014/15 to forecast revenue of $375 million in 2019/20. This has been impacted by changes in the capital charge rate and the replacement of DHBs' Crown loans with equity in 2016/17.

Vote Health receives Capital Receipts in the form of repayments from residential care loans and equity repayments from DHBs. The residential care loan repayments are forecast at $15 million per annum. The equity repayments from DHBs vary significantly across years. In 2014/15, Canterbury DHB made significant repayments from the insurance proceeds it received as a result of the Canterbury earthquakes. These repayments contributed towards the Canterbury hospital rebuild funded by capital expenditure appropriations.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreases by $6.933 million to $42.441 million mainly due to:

  • $3.200 million for a one-off increase in funding in 2018/19 from Mental Health and Addiction Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement 2018
  • $3 million uplift in 2018/19 for a fiscally neutral transfer between departmental output expenses that better reflects the outputs the Ministry expects to deliver during the year
  • $1.200 million for a one-off increase in funding in 2018/19 for settlement of the NZNO nurses multi-employer collective agreement
  • $1 million for a one-off increase in funding for the Budget 2018 initiative Developing a Free Annual Health Check for SuperGold Card Holders
  • $551,000 for a reduction in funding in 2019/20 for the initiative Transforming the Disability Support System, and
  • $400,000 in 2018/19 only for Budget 2018 initiative Very Low Cost General Practitioner Visits for Community Services Card Holders.

This decrease is partly offset by:

  • $1.750 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Expanding Access and Choice of Primary Mental Health and Addiction Support
  • $400,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Increasing Investment in Pacific Innovation Funds to Improve Pacific Health Outcomes
  • $260,000 from Strategy to Prevent and Minimise Gambling Harm, and
  • $576,000 for four other Budget 2019 initiatives.

Total Appropriation 1,330,189 1,330,189 1,391,484
What is Intended to be Achieved with this Appropriation

This appropriation is intended to achieve services provided by the DHB that align with: Government priorities; the strategic direction set for the health sector by the Ministry of Health; the needs of the district's population; and regional considerations.

How Performance will be Assessed and End of Year Reporting Requirements

Each DHB has a statutory responsibility to prepare:

  • an Annual Plan for approval by the Minister of Health (Section 38 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000) - providing accountability to the Minister of Health
  • a Statement of Performance Expectations (Section 149C of the Crown Entities Act 2004 as amended by the Crown Entities Amendment Act 2013) - providing financial accountability to Parliament and the public annually
  • a Statement of Intent (Section 139 of the Crown Entities Act) - providing accountability to Parliament and the public at least triennially.

These documents are brought together into a single DHB Annual Plan with the Statement of Intent and Statement of Performance Expectations, and is known as the 'Annual Plan'.

The Statement of Performance Expectations provides specific measures/targets for the coming year, with comparative prior year and current year forecast (at a minimum).

Four Output Classes are used by all DHBs to reflect the nature of services provided:

  • Prevention
  • Early Detection and Management
  • Intensive Assessment and Treatment, and
  • Rehabilitation and Support.
End of Year Performance Reporting

The DHB will report performance information in its Annual Report.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $61.295 million to $1,391.484 million mainly due to:

  • $53.228 million for the Budget 2019 initiative District Health Boards - Additional Support to Improve the Health of New Zealanders
  • $7.822 million uplift for settlement of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation nurses multi-employer collective agreement
  • $951,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Increasing Access to and the Range of Affordable Pharmaceuticals
  • $652,000 transferred from the National Personal Health Services appropriation, devolving the Budget 2015 initiative Palliative Care Innovations funding to DHBs
  • $300,000 transferred from the National Personal Health Services appropriation, devolving the National Intestinal Failure Service funding to Auckland DHB, and
  • $67,000 transferred from the Primary Health Care Strategy appropriation, devolving the Budget 2018 initiative Extending Zero Fees Doctors' Visits to Under 14s funding to DHBs.

This increase is partly offset by:

  • $566,000 reduction in funding from the Budget 2017 initiative Pharmaceuticals - More Publicly Funded Medicines
  • $524,000 of additional efficiency savings due to the transfer of responsibilities for hospital medicines purchasing to PHARMAC as part of their Combined Pharmaceutical Budget
  • $253,000 transferred to the Primary Health Care Strategy appropriation to support the Budget 2018 initiative Very Low Cost General Practitioner Visits for Community Service Card Holders, centralising the funding from DHBs
  • $187,000 reduction in funding from the Budget 2016 initiative More Publicly Funded Medicines, and
  • $166,000 reduction in funding for settlement of the DHB Public Service Association multi-employer collective agreement.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $20.130 million to $462.233 million due to:

  • $18.566 million for the Budget 2019 initiative District Health Boards - Additional Support to Improve the Health of New Zealanders
  • $1.333 million uplift for settlement of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation nurses multi-employer collective agreement
  • $340,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Increasing Access to and the Range of Affordable Pharmaceuticals

  • $24,000 transferred from the Primary Health Care Strategy appropriation, devolving the Budget 2018 initiative Extending Zero Fees Doctors' Visits to Under 14s funding to DHBs.

This increase is partly offset by:

  • $203,000 reduction in funding from the Budget 2017 initiative Pharmaceuticals - More Publicly Funded Medicines
  • $187,000 of additional efficiency savings due to the transfer of responsibilities for hospital medicines purchasing to PHARMAC as part of their Combined Pharmaceutical Budget, and

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $12.341 million to $362.111 million due to:

  • $10.787 million for the Budget 2019 initiative District Health Boards - Additional Support to Improve the Health of New Zealanders
  • $1.525 million uplift for settlement of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation nurses multi-employer collective agreement
  • $261,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Increasing Access to and the Range of Affordable Pharmaceuticals
  • $195,000 transferred from the National Personal Health Services appropriation, devolving the Budget 2015 initiative Palliative Care Innovations funding to DHBs, and
  • $18,000 transferred from the Primary Health Care Strategy appropriation, devolving the Budget 2018 initiative Extending Zero Fees Doctors' Visits to Under 14s funding to DHBs.

This increase is partly offset by:

  • $159,000 reduction in funding from the Budget 2017 initiative Pharmaceuticals - More Publicly Funded Medicines
  • $144,000 of additional efficiency savings due to the transfer of responsibilities for hospital medicines purchasing to PHARMAC as part of their Combined Pharmaceutical Budget
  • $53,000 reduction in funding from the Budget 2016 initiative More Publicly Funded Medicines
  • $45,000 reduction in funding for settlement of the DHB Public Service Association multi-employer collective agreement, and
  • $44,000 transferred to the Primary Health Care Strategy appropriation to support the Budget 2018 initiative Very Low Cost General Practitioner Visits for Community Service Card Holders, centralising the funding from DHBs.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

  • $8.750 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Increasing Access to and Modernising Child Development Services to Improve the Health and Social Outcomes of Children with Additional Needs, and

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreases by $7.061 million to $1,344.646 million mainly due to:

  • $21.300 million of funding reprioritised from Public Health Service Purchasing, Primary Health Care Strategy, National Emergency Services and National Personal Health Services appropriations in 2018/19 only to meet pressures on disability support services
  • $4 million reduction in 2019/20 for the Budget 2018 initiative Disability Support Services - Additional Support, and
  • $793,000 reduction in funding from the initiative Transforming the Disability Support System drawdown from Contingency Fund.

This decrease is partly offset by:

  • $11.6 million uplift in 2019/20 from the Budget 2019 initiative Disability Support Services - Maintaining Health Services for Disabled New Zealanders, which increases the funding received from $60.400 million in 2018/19 to $72 million in 2019/20
  • $5.756 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Meeting Minimum Wage Obligations under the Home and Community Support (Payment for Travel Between Clients) Settlement Act, and
  • $1.828 million transfer from Vote Social Development for Disability Support System Transformation - MidCentral Prototype.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $26.006 million to $150.319 million mainly due to:

  • $13.430 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Improving the Financial Sustainability and Performance of Emergency Services
  • $4.301 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Supporting the Continued Delivery of Emergency Ambulance Services
  • $3.740 million transferred from 2018/19 to 2019/20 for the Budget 2018 initiative Radio Assurance
  • $3.500 million reprioritised in 2018/19 only to help address pressures on disability and mental health services, and
  • $3 million uplift in 2019/20 for the Budget 2017 initiative Emergency Ambulance Services - additional support.

This increase is partly offset by $1.956 million carried forward from 2017/18 to 2018/19 for the Whole of Government Radio Network.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $61.102 million to $141.296 million mainly due to:

  • $10.100 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Preventing Suicide and Supporting People Bereaved by Suicide
  • $5.200 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Expanding Telehealth and Digital Supports for Mental Wellbeing
  • $2.700 million uplift in 2019/20 for the Budget 2018 initiative Improving Mental Health Services for Children in Canterbury and Kaikoura

  • $1 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Promoting Wellbeing in Primary and Intermediate Schools, and
  • $500,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Mental Wellbeing Support for Parents and Whanau.

This increase is partly offset by:

  • $7.500 million reprioritised in 2018/19 only to help address pressures on disability and mental health services
  • $1.200 million reduction in 2019/20 for initiatives that support a health approach as part of the Synthetic Drugs Response, and

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $33.728 million to $396.085 million mainly due to:

  • $16.700 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Planned Care, including Elective Surgery - Maintaining Services for New Zealanders
  • $12 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Planned Care, including Elective Surgery - Increasing the Number of Interventions for New Zealanders
  • $3.120 million transferred from 2018/19 to 2019/20 for Planned Care, Organ Donation and Mobility Action Programmes, and
  • $748,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Increasing Access to Gender Affirming Surgery.

This increase is partly offset by $1.960 million in 2018/19 only (which was transferred from 2017/18) for Musculoskeletal planned care services.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $65.894 million to $330.533 million due to:

  • $41.392 million uplift in 2019/20 from the Budget 2018 initiative Very Low Cost General Practitioner Visits for Community Services Card Holders
  • $16.800 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Primary Care - Maintaining Access to Primary Health Services for New Zealanders
  • $4.500 million reprioritised in 2018/19 only to help address pressures on disability and mental health services
  • $2.334 million from the centralisation of funding from DHBs for the Budget 2018 initiative Very Low Cost General Practitioner Visits for Community Services Card Holders, and
  • $2.042 million uplift in 2019/20 from the Budget 2018 initiative Extending Zero Fees Doctors' Visits to Under 14s.

This increase is partly offset by:

  • $709,000 reduction in 2019/20 for the devolution of funding to DHBs for the Budget 2018 initiative Extending Zero Fees Doctors' Visits for Under 14s, and
  • $465,000 for a one-off increase in 2018/19 (transferred from 2017/18) for the Budget 2018 initiative Very Low Cost General Practitioner Visits for Community Card Holders.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increases by $37.036 million to $440.302 million mainly due to:

  • $17.300 million reprioritised in 2018/19 to help address pressures on disability and mental health services
  • $16.817 million for the net impact of funding transfers between years for the National Bowel Screening Programme to support the rollout of the programme
  • $9 million for the Budget 2019 initiative National Bowel Screening Programme - Rollout of Programme to a Further Four DHBs
  • $9 million for the net impact of funding transfers between years for the Water Fluoridation (Assistance) initiative
  • $2.710 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Reducing the Incidence and Improving the Management of Rheumatic Fever
  • $2.570 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Supporting Schools and Early Learning Settings to Improve Wellbeing Through Healthy Eating and Quality Physical Activity
  • $950,000 uplift in 2019/20 for the initiative Support for Rainbow Communities, and
  • $524,000 for the Budget 2019 initiative Violence Intervention Programme - Health Sector Screening for Early Intervention and Prevention of Family Violence.

This increase is partly offset by:

  • $18.623 million one-off increase in 2018/19 (transferred from 2017/18) for the Sanitary Works Subsidy Scheme
  • $1.400 million one-off increase in 2018/19 (transferred from 2017/18) for Services to Refugees
  • $1.380 million one-off increase in 2018/19 (transferred from 2017/18) for Contraceptive Services for Low Income Women, and
  • $1.200 million reduction in funding for Synthetic Drugs Response.

How Performance will be Assessed and End of Year Reporting Requirements

An exemption was granted under s15D(2)(b)(ii) of the PFA as end-of-year performance information for the appropriation is not likely to be informative as this appropriation is an interim measure to enable providers to be reimbursed for additional costs incurred in relation to the care and support worker pay equity settlement.

Note - Performance information for National Disability Support Services will be reported in the Minister's Vote Health Report in Relation to Selected Non-Departmental Appropriations; and performance information for aged residential care services purchased by DHBs can be found in DHBs' Annual Reports.

  • $2.500 million for the Budget 2019 initiative Maori Health Workforce Development Package - Pathways to Ongoing Employment to Enable Equitable Health Outcomes
