GRANT EXPENDITURE

In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (29 June 2008).

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I have been advised:

All grant funding was subject to a grant agreement where required by Treasurer's Instruction No. 15.

In 2005-06 the Department of Health allocated $91.7 million in grant funding to 241 non-government organisations for the provision of community health services.

In 2006-07 the Department of Health allocated around $93.8 million in grant funding to 771 non-government organisations for the provision of community health services. This includes 638 one-off health connect grants for broadband packages that totalled $1,103,500.

I have provided a copy of all grants over $100,000 for the Department of Health for 2005-06 and 2006-07.
