2 The counts and caseloads targets are forecasts. Actual targets cannot be set because Corrections workload is dependent upon court sentences.
3 Targets for these measures reflect consolidation of operations.
4 Resources and costs required to collect data were excessive. This measure was not included in the Service Plan 2003/04 – 2005/06.
