Programme 3: Public Employment Services was allocated a total budget of R280.4 million for the 2010/11 financial year before adjustment. However, the department has managed to spend about R66.8 million or 23.8 per cent in the first quarter. Of this expenditure the programme is still remaining with unspent funds of R2.6 million which was part of the approved projections for the first quarter. This level of under expenditure was due to the delays in the clarification of role and responsibilities of staff within this programme (PES) particularly in provinces due to restructuring process. Part of the slow spending in this programme was due to the decrease in claims by civil servants for injuries on duty which then reduces the administration costs.
