Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Public Service Performance Report 2017: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. John Kinnane:

Yes. As stated in the opening statement, it was one of a number of reforms which were introduced in the area of expenditure management to try to ensure that the budgetary process is focused on what is being delivered with funds. The performance report provides detail for each Government Department. Drilling down further below that detail, a spending review process goes into a lot more detail on what is being delivered and how effectively public services are being delivered. The output from the spending review process, alongside the performance report, then feeds into budgetary discussions when settling overall Estimate amounts.
