Minister releases budget proposals

22 October 2010

The Minister for Treasury and Resources, Senator Philip Ozouf, has today released the Comprehensive Spending Review budget proposals for 2011 - 2013.

The Council of Ministers is proposing a spending envelope in 2013 which incorporates an overall savings target of £65 million.

The reports released today show the breakdown of the savings target by department, as well as information about indicative growth and user pays proposals. Peer reviews of the work carried out by the Education, Sport and Culture Department and the Home Affairs Department have also been released.

There has also been a high-level review of the effectiveness of existing terms and conditions of service across the States of Jersey. This comprises one of the 6 major reviews in response to the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR).

The aim of all of the reviews is to identify potential savings and to support management teams to develop innovative ways of reducing costs.

The targets described in these reports will be further evaluated by departments for final inclusion within the 2012 and 2013 Business Plans in accordance with the Public Finances (Jersey) Law.
