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:
Senior doctors and consultants call for intervention amid 'critical shortfall in bed capacity' at Noble's Hospital
Medical Staff Committee issues plea for support, claiming physicians are suffering "deep psychological distress"
Rolling delays see Manxman sailings cancelled
Knock-on effect of weather disruption leads to scrapping of Heysham crossings
Ban for Norfolk electrician caught drug driving
Subcontractor stopped at Sea Terminal after night out
Assisted dying bill receiving 'due attention it deserves' in UK
External relations director says proposals are receiving the expected scrutiny
