1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Output Expenses
The increasing trend for output expenses is mainly due to the introduction of the non-departmental output expense, Connection and Advocacy Service from 1 July 2017 with $2.900 million of funding, increasing to $4 million in 2018/19 and outyears. There is also the introduction of the Reducing Youth Reoffending Social Bond Pilot from 1 July 2017 for a five-year period. The funding in 2017/18 is $439,000 increasing to $3.459 million in 2018/19.
Other Expenses
The decreasing trend for other expenses relates to the transformation programme to co-design and implement system wide reform to services provided to vulnerable children, young people and their families. This is time limited funding that finishes in 2017/18.
Capital
The increasing trend from 2016/17 for capital expenditure is due to the new Oranga Tamariki-Ministry for Children operating for a full financial year in 2017/18, compared to the three months in 2016/17. There was also a capital injection for Digital Workplace Programme of $2.500 million in 2016/17 and $5 million in 2017/18.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure
The increasing trend for the Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure is mainly due to:
- ongoing funding from 2018/19 for business as usual and ICT cost pressures: $38 million
- ongoing funding from 2018/19 for Youth Justice - including 17 year olds in the Youth Justice System and managing remand pressures: $12 million in 2018/19 then increasing to $38 million in 2019/20 and outyears
- a Caregiver Support package with funding of $8 million in 2017/18, $15 million in 2018/19 then decreasing to nearly $2 million in outyears
- ongoing funding from 2018/19 for Families Package: $6 million
- time limited funding for Supporting legislative amendments to the Youth Justice System: $4 million in 2017/18 and $8 million in 2018/19, and
- one-off Expense and Capital transfers from 2017/18 to 2018/19: $21 million.
