The Government will cut down on its “massive” spend on external consultants by using experts from the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA), the public expenditure minister has said. He admitted there may still be an element of consultancy spend across departments, but said having a “central pool of expertise” would see the overall spend fall. “Having consistency in the application of project delivery across Government is something that moves away from the fragmented nature of consultancy spend today,” he said.
