Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Post-budget 2023 Examination: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Patrick Moran:

If I may, I will add to that point around the specific availability around metrics. For well-being budgeting there is a well-being dashboard published on the Central Statistics Office, CSO, website, which gets updated. That gives national indicators and trends in time over those. It is very useful in getting a handle on what areas we need to look at and how they perform comparatively. With regard to embedding this within Departments and them carrying out comprehensive and rigorous assessments of the well-being impacts, they need to pick their own metrics for that as well, depending on what the policy question is and depending on the cohorts involved.
