ANSWER:

The requested tables relate to detailed Output information for the various agencies itemised above. The most recent information published for the 2020-21 financial year is the 2020-21 Preliminary Outcomes Report. As such, Budget Paper No 1 incorporates 2020-21 Preliminary Outcomes, where available, at the General Government Sector level.

The Preliminary Outcomes Report was published on 30 July 2021. The Report presents the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement for the General Government Sector and preliminary outcomes for the Public Account. 2020 21 Preliminary Outcomes information is not presented at the detailed output level.

Due to the timing of the 2021-22 Budget, Preliminary Outcomes information at the detailed output level has not been prepared for inclusion in Budget Paper No 2.

Audited 2020-21 outcome information on outputs will be available in Agency financial statements which are due to be tabled in Agency Annual Reports by the end of October 2021.
