Comparison with last year

Year on year changes
Table 2.5 below provides a year on year comparison to provide an alternative view on Government performance. The table only uses data from those departments that have reported in both 2004/05 and 2005/06. It excludes departments that have not reported, or have only reported for one of the two years. Therefore, this must be looked on as a crude comparison. Data values may be different elsewhere in the report where other departments have been included, or where comparisons are being made with the target baseline year and not 2004/05.
