Total Consolidated

Account Expenditure

3 The remainder of this appendix will comment on the content of major programmes, the causes of change in financial allocations and possible future developments.

(A) General Services

4 General Services comprise administration, support, public relations, revenue collection, financial control and unallocable expenses. Expenditure in 1987-88 is forecast to be $7,914 million compared with $7,133 million in 1986-87-an increase of 10.9%.

5 The main causes of the rapid growth since 1981-82 in expenditure under this programme indicated in Table 1 have been the Home Purchase Scheme and the rising cost of staff pensions and gratuities.

6 The Home Purchase Scheme has two objectives, namely—

(a) encouraging home ownership among civil servants; and

(b) reducing Government's long-term commitment to provide heavily subsidised housing for senior staff.
