CHAIRMAN: So Section D you see a workload increase but
at the regional level you see there is a decrease ?
C of P: Pro rata. It never had the effect that the
change of system, the change of computer system, never had the
effect of reducing the workload on Section D. But it did reduce

action to review the new VALID II computer system to establish
whether or not it had achieved its objective of reducing the
workload ? If not, are there any remedies ?
C of P: I think the introduction of the new computer
system was not specifically aimed at reducing the workload on
Section D. It was more intended I think to widen the net of
debtors and debtor recovery and it certainly, I think we have
seen the effect on that. In fact, we have addressed the Data
Processing manager on this and if I could quote from his reply
to us.
It says: [Reads]
"The system was mainly designed to support the Fixed Penalty Traffic Contravention Ordinance. It did enhance the capability of the police and judiciary to capture debtor information by the debt enforcement facility provided. It may, as an end result, achieve a decrease in staff numbers.
It is undoubted that the scope of the fixed penalty system is much larger [This is under the new system] than that of the AR system. We can simply see this [This is the Data Processing manager again] from the number of output reports produced by the two systems. AR system only produced twenty or less reports while the FP system which is the new system produces over a hundred."
In fact, I think the figure in the Audit Report quotes 77 but the
figure is over a hundred.
"Normally follow up actions have to be taken by the user department where these reports belong and would require a greater handling capacity.
