Conclusion

EPP is an endeavour to enhance the productivity of the public sector, to deliver more and better services with fewer resources. All savings are re‑invested in services that are in line with the community’s priorities. It is producing lasting results.

We have attained our pledge to reduce baseline expenditure by 5% by 2002-03 : 1.2% in 2000-01; another 2.1% in 2001-02 and another 1.9% in 2002-03. We will continue to drive for greater public sector productivity, and live up to the public’s expectation of sustained improvement in the delivery of public services.

We invite the public to monitor our performance. Apart from this booklet, all Controlling Officers have provided performance targets and indicators in their Controlling Officers’ Reports in the 2002-03 Estimates. We invite interested parties to view the relevant documents via the Internet at http://www.fstb.gov.hk/tb/.
