WQ.304/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD
BY DEPUTY K.M. WILSON OF ST. CLEMENT
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 16th SEPTEMBER 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER 2024
Question
"Will the Chair advise which Government roles or functions are subject to reductions in budget within Technology and Digital services in the forthcoming year?"
Answer
The target in the proposed Budget 2025-2028 is to save six full-time equivalent roles in Digital Services in 2025 and a further ten in 2026.
No specific roles are identified in relation to this reduction; the preference is to achieve the target through natural staff turnover, including retirements and redeployments.
To meet the target, other savings are expected to come from reductions in consultancy spend and a review of non-staff budgets to remove unnecessary systems that are high cost in terms of software licences and maintenance.
