- While there is a $5.467 million decrease in the ‘Community Health Services’ output budget, there has been a considerable review in the way the costs were mapped to the output groups, thereby resulting in an increase in the ‘Admitted Patient Services’ output. With carryovers, cancellation of Commonwealth Funded Programs and additional new Commonwealth Funded Programs, there has in effect been no significant change.
