Budget 2010: Extra $1.8 billion to frontline services

The Budget next month will redirect $1.8 billion of lower quality government spending into frontline public services between now and 2014. This follows Budget 2009 redirecting $2 billion to higher priority initiatives.

That’s a significant sum of money we’re making available for important areas such as better healthcare services, better education, and keeping New Zealanders safe.

The National-led Government will continue to weed out low quality spending. We will live within the $1.1 billion annual operating allowance for new spending we have set ourselves.
