3.2 Deputy M.B. Andrews of the Chief Minister regarding expenditure savings in the Cabinet Office (OQ.103/2024)
Further to the adoption of P.8/2024, will the Chief Minister advise whether any expenditure savings have been identified in the Cabinet Office; whether any such savings include redundancies; and if they do, how many staff have been made redundant?
Deputy L.J. Farnham of St. Mary , St. Ouen and St. Peter (The Chief Minister):
This year’s Cabinet Office Budget includes savings of just under £3 million in line with the 2024 Government Plan approved by the Assembly at the end of last year. Further savings will be included in the 2025 Budget and Government Plan as agreed in P.8/2024. To date, no compulsory redundancies have taken place because of these plans, and the policy of the States Employment Board remains to avoid compulsory redundancies where possible and instead use alternatives such as redeployment.
3.2.1 Deputy M.B. Andrews :
May I ask the Chief Minister how many staff have been transferred to other departments and can he also inform the Assembly whether any more staff will be transferred before the year end as well?
Deputy L.J. Farnham :
I do not have that detail in front of me, but I will provide it.
