Cost of specialist equipment also rising at above inflation level
The Department of Home Affairs says it's been impacted by significant inflation on items it needs to provide its front-line services.
Minister Jane Poole-Wilson believes the 24-hour nature of some operations has left it 'very exposed' to rising energy costs.
Meanwhile the cost of specialist equipment needed has risen above CPI over the last 12 months.
Mrs Poole-Wilson admits rising costs have put pressure on her budget:
