Explanation of Resource Summary
The annual ministry budget is based on assumptions contained in the ministry's 2005/06 – 2007/08 Service Plan September Update 2005. The plan was based on forecasts of expenditures and caseload trends, plus anticipated impacts of legislation, policy and program changes. The variance between the total estimated and the actual expenditures for each Core Business reflect fluctuations primarily in caseload and program demand. The ministry met its overall budget target for 2005/06.
Child and Family Development
- The under expenditure of $4.0 million (or 0.6% of the budget) was mainly due to lower than anticipated number of special needs children in care.
Early Childhood Development, Child Care and Supports to Children with Special Needs
- The over expenditure of $3.1 million (or 0.7% of the budget) was due to one time spending for children with special needs.
Capital Expenditures
- The under expenditure of $3.5 million (or 21% of the budget) was mainly due to delays in development of Information Systems for the case and contract management system.
Capital Plan
- The under expenditure of $7.5 million in Provincial Services was due to revised project timelines for the Burnaby Youth Custody Services Centre project.
- The under expenditure of $1.3 million in Adult Community Living Services was due to unbudgeted proceeds of sales from existing Group Homes.
Additional Expenditures
- The ministry received $811,000 in additional funding to pay for the costs of the external review carried out by the Honourable Ted Hughes.
