Govt staffing must be looked at, says Teare

The Treasury minister says it will be difficult to keep government finances on track, following a pay rise awarded to some public sector workers.

Around 3,300 have been given the 2.2% increase, more than the 1% allowed for in departmental budgets.

It amounts to an extra £1.6 million of public money.

The award was agreed by the Public Services Commission and the unions.
Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says staffing levels will need to be looked at again.
