HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES used £2.5m-worth of ‘kit cash’ to balance its books last year that should have been used to buy equipment.

ALTHOUGH it cost £11m. more than originally budgeted, Public Services minister Bernard Flouquet was adamant the States got value for money with the New Jetty project.

SERIOUS shortcomings in the way the States handled the New Jetty project are revealed today.

A HUGE overspend on work at the New Jetty is to be investigated by the  Public Accounts Committee.

ISLANDERS received a partial apology for another States overspend yesterday.

SOCIAL SECURITY’S overspend of £3m. is an unfolding  horror story, with key chapters of lack of accountability and communication, according to Deputy Jean Pritchard.

FORMER Social Security Authority president Owen Le Tissier is rejecting claims that the introduction of a new computer system he oversaw was an overspend.
