(a) Underexpenditure is accounted for by the late delivery of overseas supplies. (b) There is still an unsettled claim which was provided for under this item. (c) The overexpenditure of £4,406 is reflected in additional farm credits. (d) The failure of the Huka Palls plant necessitated the installation of a Diesel plant for Wairakei. This resulted in additional expenditure. (e) Several vehicles were purchased towards the end of the year, but payment for these has not yet been made. (/) A change in the method of purchasing attendants' uniforms, as well as the purchase of nurses' stockings, has increased the expenditure on this item. The overexpenditure, however, is more apparent than real, as credit has been received by resale. "Delivery of overseas supplies earlier than expected also accounts for certain overexpenditure. (g) The non-delivery of annual overseas supplies has been responsible for this underexpenditure.
