Turing to pre-budget scrutiny, there are a number of processes in place that can support such engagement. In setting out the Departmental expenditure baseline for the medium-term, reflecting pre-commitments arising from cost pressures such as demographics, and outlining the mid-year expenditure position for Departments, the Mid-Year Expenditure Report is focussed on supporting enhanced pre-budget scrutiny. I note that the Interim Report specifically references the cost of standing-still for the budget year including taking account of demographics. This is an issue that the Mid-Year Expenditure Report seeks to inform, and as I noted earlier, better budgeting for demographic costs is included in the Programme for Government.
