Errata

The following errata have been issued for the Report on Government Services 2011. The applicable prefaces, chapter and attachment tables have been amended on the website to reflect these errata.

Part E: Health Preface

Total expenditure on health care services in Australia as a percentage of GDP for the years 1998-99 and 2007-08 has been revised due to a change in the methodology used to calculate GDP. Data reported for 2008-09 are already based on this methodology and have not changed. For 2007-08, the percentage has changed from 9.1 per cent to 8.8 per cent and for 1998-99 has changed from 8.0 per cent to 7.8 per cent. This change will mean that for health expenditure as a percentage of GDP, there will have been a slight increase from 2007-08 to 2008-09 rather than a slight decrease and, the increase from 1998-99 to 2008-09 will be 1.2 percentage points rather than 1.0 percentage point.

The revisions affect the chapter text on page E.8.
