Notes:
*These figures are impacted by a redistribution of costs, a technical change of the overhead cost method applied.
The Department centralised most functions in 2005/06, and further marginal changes were made in 2006/07 (for example, centralising some communications funding).
^The Department also received a sizable increase in HSNO funding in Budget 2006 to resource contract management and training of the regional contract delivery.
