CHILDREN, YOUTH AND WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICE

72 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (1 June 2010). What savings initiatives are expected to be met by the Children, Youth and Women's Health Service and what programs and services will be reduced to meet the required savings targets in 2009-10 and 2010-11?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. The savings requirements that were allocated to the Children, Youth and Women's Health Service in 2009-10 are based on savings initiatives approved by Cabinet, as part of the 2006-07, 2007-08, and 2008-09 Budgets.

The Children, Youth and Women's Health Service funding allocations for 2009-10 and 2010-11 include the following savings initiative:

Procurement and Supply Chain Savings–this savings represents efficiencies expected from the Procurement and Supply Chain Centralisation project that was approved as part of the 2008-09 Budget.

In addition, the Region is implementing a number of initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency of the Region and improving its financial performance.

2. The Region has not identified any reductions to the front line services it provides. The financial benefits which are expected to be derived from the savings initiatives are principally a result of productivity and efficiency improvements.
