MHK wants to know how government can save almost £16m

A Ramsey MHK will press the government about its plans to save almost £16 million.

Lawrie Hooper has asked a series of questions for written reply about the Efficiencies and Change Programme which has saved just over £4 million of a £50 million target in the past two years.

Mr Hooper wants to know how the savings identified by government were calculated and whether they're one-off or recurring savings.

In his three queries, he also asks for figures in the programme's annual report to be broken down.
