GOODS AND SERVICES SALES

439 Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (6 November 2012). With respect to 2012-13 Budget Paper 4, vol. 1, p. 222—Program 3: Care and Protection—

(a) what are the details on the sale of goods and services received under this program for 201-13; and

(b) why was there a reduction in the sale of goods and services from $2.6 million in 2010-11 to the estimated result of $521,000 in 2011-12?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs): I have been advised of the following:

(a) Income reflected as 'Sales of Goods and Services' primarily relates to recoveries from agencies for services funded by Families SA but not provided;

(b) Actual 2010-11 Sales of Goods and Services reflected one-off grants recoveries of $2.1 million from non-government agencies for services not delivered during that financial year. This level of grant recoveries was not expected to reoccur in 2011-12.
