Questions 18-19 (Mr Chaytor): The relationship of the Departmental Strategic Objectives to the Budget The Department's Business Plan for 2008-09 attributes the Department's budget to the Departmental Strategic Objectives as follows: £'000
The allocations of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 budgets has yet to be decided
Question 20 (Mr Chaytor): A table indicating how much money is being allocated to Children services or / Children's Trusts and similar
Question 22 (Mr Chaytor): A table showing how much is being allocated to front line institutions
In taking forward action on these two points the Department will consider carefully the detail of information that will be included in the 2009 Departmental Report. The existing Table 8.3 is based on the Departmental organisational structure, which is largely in line with the various areas of policy development. The table can be reformatted in a number of ways but this will take considerable effort to ensure that the information is correct, will be helpful and will be understandable to users. The Department will consider if this is possible when preparing the 2009 Departmental Report
