DISABILITY BENEFIT SYSTEM: REFORM (P.178/2003) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 20th January 2004 by the Finance and Economics Committee
STATES GREFFE
COMMENTS
The Finance and Economics Committee considers that all aspects of States expenditure should be prioritised alongside one another. This currently takes place within the methodology of the Fundamental Spending Review.
Whilst the Committee welcomes the proposal to restructure all disability benefits and prevent further growth in the funding required for them, the Finance and Economics Committee is concerned that considering the level of funding for the Disability Transport Allowance in isolation will limit the options for delivering savings in expenditure required by the public and necessary to achieve balanced budgets.
