Health, Police win out in QLD 2011-12 Budget ICT spending
Despite being hit by severe floods and cyclones in the past year, the Queensland Government’s 2011-12 budget still includes a sizeable ICT spending for the coming year.
The budget includes two core areas of ICT spending — Health and Police — and a number of smaller ICT expenditures, such as the state’s Bulk Water Transport Authority and Department of Environment and Resource Management.
According to the budget documents, ICT funding for Queensland Health's capital works program was an important input into the delivery of health services and goals in the government’s Toward Q2: Tomorrow's Queensland strategy.
“In 2011-12, Queensland Health will continue its capital investment across a broad range of health infrastructure including community health centres, hospitals, health technology, pathology, research and scientific services, mental health services, residential care, staff accommodation, and information and communication technologies,” the budget reads.
The budget allocates some $61.2 million for the department to invest in information and communication technology equipment to “replace, upgrade and provide future capability”.
According to the budget, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) capital program for 2011-12 will be $227.3 million and will fund infrastructure activities including capital works, information technology and other essential equipment to support the QPS.
Of this funding, $51.1 million will be spent on a range of information and communication technology initiatives including a new computer-aided dispatch system, a technology refresh, and a digital integrated traffic camera system.
The Queensland Government’s primary ICT service provider, CITEC, will receive a capital expenditure program of $22.7 million to carry out the consolidation of data centres, networks and infrastructure services across the state government.
CITEC will also carry out the implementation of a whole-of-government email system with identity management and authentication capability, digital certificate issuing capability and the acquisition of ICT infrastructure.
Additional ICT expenditures include:
$5 million from the total investment of $10.7 million over three years, for Streamlining the Mining Tenure Approval Process. This new technology platform is expected to help reduce application processing times.
