Dear Ms Wilson,

In response to the follow-up query you asked following our response to your OIA request, please be advised that the provision in year 1 relates to:
- $840k for the costs associated with the mobilisation project team, technology implementation and related change management costs. This figure reflects SDHB's share of mobilisation costs to implement the proposed Food Services solution. Of this figure, $360k relates to a share of national mobilisation costs, $170k relates to mobilisation costs that are specific to Southern DHB, and a $310k provision has been included for any redundancy costs. This redundancy provision is based on a national estimate of projected numbers, a portion of which has then been allocated to Southern DHB on the basis of population size. It has been included as a planning assumption to ensure the Business Case is robust and provides a conservative estimate of potential benefits. It should not be taken as indicative of numbers of staff who may receive redundancy compensation.
- $190k for costs associated with the management of food services during the transition period.
- $60k for Business Case Costs. This reflects costs already incurred by HBL on behalf of Southern DHB to develop the Food Services Business Case for consultation. The total amount payable in this regard is $280k – spread over the first five years of the contract.
- $30k for Sector Implementation costs. This reflects an estimate of additional costs expected to be incurred by Southern DHB to implement the proposed Food Services solution. The total amount payable in this regard is $150k – spread over the first five years of the contract.

Regards
Sarah

Dear Ms Wilson,

Please be advised that exact costs and savings from outsourcing food services to Compass are work in progress. SDHB is negotiating final costs and prices with Compass and until that process is complete the final savings numbers for 2015/16 will not be known.

Sarah

Dear Sarah Byrne, Thank you for your reply.
I seek further clarification as to whether the costs will increase (as the promised 'savings' have decreased) due to so few DHBs signing up to Compass contract?

Yours sincerely,

Natalie Wilson
