My Department is managing its expenditure in accordance with the 2008 Budget, public spending priorities, and in compliance with Public Financial Procedures, and seeks value for money, effectiveness and efficiency in this expenditure. At this stage I anticipate that the financial provisions for 2008 will be fully utilised for the purposes intended as set out in my Department's Estimate of Expenditure.
