8082 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for Economic Development

8082 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for Economic Development: What accrued savings, if any, has the minister’s departments, ministries and agencies (if applicable within their portfolio) realised resulting from the Government’s directive to reduce expenditure in the public service?

Hon Melissa Lee: It is my expectation to be updated about significant implications with my portfolio responsibility as Minister. However, agencies’ cost-savings plans are the responsibility of the chief executive and are subject to consideration as part of the Budget 2024 process.
