01 Oct 2026Capital investment options constrained by cuts and tight revenue budgetsConcern

“[Speaker: Elin Jones] Yes, so, the challenge on the capital budget is significant, and it will be more than that 9 per cent, because of the issues that I raised earlier on the reductions as a result of the defence investment plan. Therefore, there are two aspects to the answer on this. One is that we have undertaken a zero-based analysis of the capital budget in preparing for the allocations for the three years to come, so that we bring a fresh pair of eyes on the pipeline of projects that are coming from different aspects of the public sector—hospitals, maintenance, as well as aspirations for new build within the public sector.”
