6 | 4 | Revised measure |
Note 1 - The Ministerial Policy Satisfaction Survey measures Ministers' satisfaction with the quality, timeliness and value for money of policy advice on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 means never met expectations and 5 means always exceeded expectations.
Note 2 - A sample of the department's policy advice will be assessed by a panel using the Policy Quality Framework. There are two targets for reporting on overall policy advice: an average score and a distribution score. Using both these targets will provide an indication of how DPMC has performed over time. Policy advice will be scored on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means unacceptable and 5 means outstanding. All first opinion policy functions contribute to one score across DPMC.
Note 3 - A distribution score is being applied to show the percentage of papers that exceed, meet or don't meet the performance target set. The target for 2019/20 is that 70% of assessed papers score 3 or higher, 30% score 4 or higher, and no more than 10% score 2.5 or less.
End of Year Performance Reporting
Performance information for this appropriation will be reported by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in the 2019/20 Annual Report.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $1.910 million to $9.726 million for 2019/20 due to:
- an expense transfer of $3 million from 2019/20 to 2020/21 to ensure activity to complete the transition to local leadership, and the exit of a dedicated central government presence in Christchurch to support the regeneration, are supported beyond June 2020.
The decrease was partially offset by:
- an expense transfer of $700,000 from 2018/19 to 2019/20 to support the transition to local leadership, and a global settlement
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $240,000 in 2018/19 for expenses and revenue associated with the sub-lease of Christchurch property, and
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $150,000 in 2018/19 for expenses and revenue associated with the remuneration of seconded out staff.

There are two targets for reporting on overall policy advice: an average score and a distribution score. Using both these targets will provide an indication of how DPMC has performed over time. Policy advice will be scored on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means unacceptable and 5 means outstanding. All first opinion policy functions contribute to one score across DPMC.
Note 3 - A distribution score is being applied to show the percentage of papers that exceed, meet or don't meet the performance target set. The target for 2019/20 is that 70% of assessed papers score 3 or higher, 30% score 4 or higher, and no more than 10% score 2 or less.
End of Year Performance Reporting
Performance information for this appropriation will be reported by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in the 2019/20 Annual report.
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $1.162 million to $22.697 million for 2019/20 due to:
- expense transfers of $1.800 million from 2018/19 to 2019/20 due to delays in projects and programmes, and uncertainties around the timing of expenditure
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $900,000 for expenses and revenue associated with the programme of disaster resilience in the Pacific (in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade)
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $262,000 for revenue from other departments to support the development of a co-ordinated incident management system (CIMS)
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $100,000 for revenue from the Tertiary Education Commission for the co-ordination of Civil Defence Emergency Management training, and
- an increase of $100,000 to support maintaining water supply to regions affected by drought.
The increase was partially offset by:
- an expense transfer of $1 million from 2019/20 to 2020/21 to ensure funding is available to continue the programme of work to strengthen National Crisis Management Centre resilience, and
- an expense transfer of $1 million from 2019/20 to 2020/21 to ensure funding is available to continue the establishment and organisational design of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
