Hon Mireille Wenger
Question Number: 
5
Question Body: 

With regard to the surrendering of funds to the Provincial Revenue Fund:

  1. (a) How much has been surrendered back to the Provincial Revenue Fund by each of the departments in (i) 2019, (ii) 2020, (iii) 2021 and (iv) 2022 to date, (b) what is a detailed breakdown of (i) funds surrendered for the compensation of employees (CoE), (ii) funds surrendered for goods and services and (iii) any other expenditure;
  2. with regard to the surrendering of CoE funds to the Provincial Revenue Fund, (a) what (i) is the number and (ii) are the details of the posts that were affected and not filled per department and (b) what are the reasons thereof?
Answer Body: 

I have been advised of the following:

  1. (a) In terms of the budget, funding surrendered to the Provincial Revenue Fund is interpreted as the variance between the Final Appropriation and Actual Expenditure for a particular financial year and is reflected in the Appropriation Statement for the year ended 31 March in the Annual Report. Please note that (i) this includes amounts for which rollover applications are made that, if compliant with requirements and thus approved, are reappropriated in the subsequent financial year; and (ii) the period under review was particularly impacted by disruptions emanating from the national state of disaster associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and (iii) for the current year (2022 to date), the surrender to the Provincial Revenue Fund is interpreted as the variance between the 2022 Adjustment Budget and the projected expenditure for the rest of the year as per the Adjusted Estimates of Provincial Revenue and Expenditure tabled on 24 November 2022.  At this stage, no department indicates a variance. The table below provides the information per vote for the financial years requested.
