Backbench alliance says public needs to see gov't doing its bit to save costs
A political alliance of backbench MHKs says there will need to be public sector job cuts to address what it's described as a 'financial gap'.
The group, consisting of Claire Christian, Julie Edge and Chris Thomas, is calling for more transparency over government's spending.
Last week, it was revealed the number of full-time positions within the public service had increased by more than 250 in less than a year.
Mr Thomas says ultimately that figure needs to be reduced:
'Pressure in the system' but bed figures are wrong says Manx Care
Work permits 'form part of longer-term plan' says Johnston
First Deemster and Clerk of Rolls appointed to senior roles
Mother's Day recognition for women who ‘shape our community’
