Treasury member says increased demand on public services and pay awards among the challenges for government
Increased demand on services, pay rises to civil servants and rising costs have all put pressures on government's spending.
That's the view of political member for Treasury, Bill Henderson MLC.
His comments come following this week's Budget, which included a 2% increase to the higher rate of income tax.
Mr Henderson says government's finances are facing a range of challenges, including the public sector wage bill:
Revised plans for Lord Street bus station development
Consultation for new National Infrastructure Safety Bill
Steam Packet cancels Friday evening sailings
"Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital is not at risk of closure"
