   The Department received $56,347,000 in Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2011-12 for Departmental ordinary annual services, which was comprised of $57,401,000 for operating purposes and a reduction of $1,054,000 against the Departmental Capital Budget (DCB). The reduction to the DCB was required as forward year budget estimates provided for operating purpose were transferred for capital purposes following a restructuring of administrative arrangements in 2011. The Department of Finance and Deregulation approved for the Department to draw down $1,054,000 from the DCB for operating purposes to achieve this notional split of the amount received under Appropriation Act (No. 3) 2011-12.

   The variance of $3,867,000 represents amounts from the 2011 DCB expended in the current year.
