SOCIAL SECURITY has gone £3m. over budget with its new computer system.

In what is seen as another blow to public confidence the department, which did not have to inform the States of the project or of its costs, has overseen a massive overspend on a project that is still not finished.

An additional estimate of £1.456m. in internal costs has been excluded in the total figure.
