The Policy & Resources Committee's (P&R) two-pronged approach to the budget has come under criticism, with opponents arguing it fails to demonstrate a genuine commitment to cutting costs within the States.
Critics of the plan say the approach, as presented, does not go far enough in identifying savings that could meaningfully address the States' financial pressures.
Budget scrutiny intensifies
The criticism adds to ongoing debate over how the States should balance its budget, with opposing voices calling for a clearer demonstration of fiscal discipline from P&R.
Further details on P&R's specific budget proposals, and on how the committee plans to respond to the criticism, have not been made public at this stage.
