1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Output Expenses
The decreasing trend for output expenses of $24.292 million is due to:
- the re-forecast in Youth Reoffending Social Bond Pilot of $5.711 million
- $18.712 million related to the disestablishment of the existing departmental output expense appropriations Data, Analytics and Evidence Services, Policy Advice, and Ministerial Services into the Investing in Children and Young People MCA from 1 July 2020
- $1.032 million related to the time limited funding for an Effective and Timely Response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Historical Abuse in Care.
The above is offset by:
- ongoing funding in Adoption services for past and new budget initiatives of $1.163 million.
Capital
The increasing trend for capital expenditure of $49.422 million is mainly due to:
- funding received through Budget 2019 which will enable the Ministry to continue to deliver on its operating model. The increase predominantly relates to managing increased volumes and reducing youth re-offending and modifying community locations to facilitate better ways of working.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure
The increasing trend for MCA expenses is mainly due to:
- $25.226 million related to transforming the care system to improve the safety and wellbeing of children in care
- $22.865 million corporate cost mainly due to remuneration costs associated with staff, in line with employment agreements
- $26.606 million in demand cost pressures related to care for children
- $18.712 million related to the disestablishment of the existing departmental output expense appropriations Data, Analytics and Evidence services, Policy Advice, and Ministerial Services into the Investing in Children and Young People MCA from 1 July 2020
- $17.973 million for transition support service for improving the wellbeing outcomes of young people leaving care and youth justice
- $16.864 million related to investment in youth justice services
- $9.692 million related to community service providers - supporting social service delivery cost pressure
- $4.568 million increase in funding for social worker pay equity
- $3.411 million for sexual violence support services for children and young people
- $2.644 million from the preventing and reducing homelessness contingency fund to transition young people leaving care by providing them with supported accommodation
- $2.010 million related to services for children and young people with concerning or harmful sexual behaviours
- $1.950 million to reflect the consumer price index adjustment to foster care and other allowances.
The above is mainly offset by time limited funding:
- $6 million related to the work performed on the digital work programme in 2019/20 which was transferred from 2018/19.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation has increased by $1.163 million in 2020/21. This is due to:
- $436,000 one-off expense transfer from 2019/20 to 2020/21 due to delays in projects outside the Ministry's control
- $338,000 related to corporate cost pressures
- $300,000 for the realignment of costs between appropriations to better reflect the new operating model
- $94,000 for the realignment of funding received for the Social Workers and Pay Equity Settlement, previously included in the Investing in Children and Young People MCA.
The above is offset by:
- $5,000 decrease in the remuneration cost pressures for Oranga Tamariki.

- $22.865 million corporate cost mainly due to remuneration costs associated with staff, in line with employment agreements
- $26.606 million in demand cost pressures related to care for children
- $18.712 million related to the disestablishment of the existing departmental output expense appropriations Data, Analytics and Evidence services, Policy Advice, and Ministerial Services into the Investing in Children and Young People MCA from 1 July 2020
- $17.973 million for transition support service for improving the wellbeing outcomes of young people leaving care and youth justice
- $16.864 million related to investment in youth justice services
- $9.692 million related to community service providers - supporting social service delivery cost pressure
