Departmental and non-operating appropriations do not lapse at financial year end. However, the responsible Minister may decide that part or all of a departmental or non-operating appropriation is not required and request the Finance Minister to reduce that appropriation. The reduction in the appropriation is effected by the Finance Minister’s determination and is disallowable by Parliament. On 24 June 2008, the Finance Minister determined a reduction in departmental appropriations following a request by PSR through the Minister for Health and Ageing. The amount determined under subsection 10 (2) of Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2003-2004, subsection 9 (1) of Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2006-2007 and of Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2007-2008 was to reduce the determinations under the PSR’s departmental items of $2,500,000 for 2001-02, $2,000,000 for 2002-03, $500,000 for 2003-04, $4,493,000 for 2006-07 and $1,120,000 for 2007-08. Total for this financial year is $1,120,000 and total for prior years is $9,493,000. Also Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2007-2008 was reduced by a further $28,000 following the increase to the Government-wide effeciency dividend.
