DTA/NHTL AUDITED FIGURES AND MEDIUM TERM ALLOCATIONS 12

Effective 1 April 2014, the Department was granted autonomous status, prepares its own set of Annual Financial Statements, complies with monthly reporting requirements in line with PFMA provisions and is audited independently from DCoG. The organizational structure of the Department is not fully funded to ensure that it delivers on its mandate. In the previous financial years prior to 1 April 2014, the Department received additional allocation in a form of a VIREMENT from DCoG to clear unauthorized expenditure incurred. The Department including NHTL is grossly underfunded and requires additional allocation to advance its programmes and fill critical vacant positions. ANALYSIS OF PREVIOUS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE ALLOCATIONS 13

CONCLUSION The House would like to take this opportunity to thank the Select Committee for the invitation to brief the Committee on the work of the House. Thank you 14
