Notes

  1. Where the bureaux, departments and subvented organisations have started to deliver savings in 1999-2000, the amount reflects the cumulative savings achieved.
  2. The new Environment and Food Bureau, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and Leisure and Cultural Services Department established on 1 January 2000 are deemed to have fulfilled the 1% requirement in 2000-01 through considerable savings delivered upon the reorganisation of municipal services. They are required to achieve a cumulative 5% EPP savings by 2002-03.
  3. Some of the savings of other subvented organisations are summarised here whilst others are subsumed under the responsible bureaux and departments.
