Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance for a timeline on the delivery of funds to departments to resolve ongoing pay disputes.

Answer:

At its meeting on 15 February 2024, the Executive agreed the final departmental funding envelopes for the 2023-24 financial year, utilising the additional £1046.5 million from the financial package.

It is now for individual Ministers to manage pay awards within the funding envelope provided to their department.
