  What is the forecast total cost, and total saving, of the Public Service Commission's plan to seek all-of-government suppliers for human resources and payroll systems — referenced in its April 2026 briefing to the Minister as saving around $160 million over a decade by de-duplicating legal, procurement, configuration and other costs — and how much of that saving, if any, is assumed in the Budget 2026 forecasts?
