Lawrie Hooper advocates zero-based budgeting
An MHK has expressed his hopes for departmental funding reform in tomorrow's budget.
Ramsey member Lawrie Hooper claims the current system - where all departments are allocated an annual budget based on their previous expenditure - encourages a wasteful attitude to finances.
He's advocating a transition to zero-based or priority budgeting, in order to avoid so-called 'silo' thinking by ministers.
Mr Hooper says attitudes need to change:
Bird flu confirmed after wild buzzard found dead near Bride
Warning issued by DEFA but no restrictions imposed
Call for renewed focus on equality and accessibility in government
MLC says existing schemes ‘not fit for purpose’ as debate over representation continues
Isle of Man Freemasons to lay wreath ahead of Remembrance Day
Over 250 bikers carry wreaths to Staffordshire
MHK won't pursue removal of Bishop vote further if bill is rejected
Lawrie Hooper believes matter has been 'fully explored' through recent report
