The department is committed to meeting the 5% savings and efficiency target, with spending review funding allocations agreed on this basis.

These funding allocations, informed by the findings of the Zero Based Review, are the first step in a wider plan to finalise budgets for different projects and programmes, with any necessary savings decided through that process. The savings taken forward will be subject to the normal rigorous business planning processes and in-year financial management.
