WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th NOVEMBER 2014
Question
Will the Minister detail for members how he will deliver those measures to balance the Consolidated Fund that apply to the Chief Minister's Department and are listed on page 56 of the accompanying report to P.129/2014 Draft Budget Statement 2015'?
Answer
Proposed reduction in 2014 carry forwards of ALL departments
Due to tight controls on spending in 2014 the Chief Ministers Department will be able to offer underspends that will not be requested to be carried forward. The exact figure is not known at this time as savings will continue to be made in the later part of the year.
Proposed savings from ALL departments 2% pay and gross non pay budgets
As part of the 2015 Budget it was identified that additional savings would be required from all Departments as part of a range of measures necessary to manage the consolidated fund balance in 2015. The quantum of savings allocated to the Chief Ministers Department amounts to £486k.
The Department is fully committed to meeting this savings target and discussions are ongoing with Budget Managers regarding the range of detailed measures which will contribute towards the overall saving.
