Public Spending Review

A Public Spending Review is a government process that evaluates how public funds are allocated and spent. It aims to ensure that government budgets are efficient, effective, and aligned with national priorities. During the review, agencies’ budgets are examined, and comparisons are made to assess whether resources are being used optimally to deliver public services such as health, education, and infrastructure. The process may result in adjustments—either increasing, reducing, or reallocating funds—to improve value for money and meet changing societal needs. Essentially, it’s a strategic check to make sure taxpayers’ money is used wisely.
