Meet the Government Departments - Comprehensive Spending Review
Visit the Smart Solutions in Tough Times campaign homepage
With public expenditure in Northern Ireland expected to decrease by around £1.2 billion this is one of the most important spending reviews for voluntary and community organisations and the people, families and communities we work with.
Government departments are currently working on their spending priorities for the next four years as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review. NICVA contacted each government department and requested they meet with voluntary and community organisations in their area of interest to outline the current situation and discuss issues of concern.
NICVA also arranged for officials from the Department of Finance and Personnel to provide the voluntary and community sector with an overview of the current budgetary situation being faced by all departments in the Northern Ireland Executive.
