Text
My officials have been working closely with the PSNI to develop a robust business case for the funding that will be required to recover workforce numbers over the course of the current mandate. I am pleased to confirm that that business case has been submitted to the Department of Finance for its consideration. I should stress that affordability remains a key issue for business case approval. Subject to Department of Finance approval, however, I will continue to work collaboratively with my Executive colleagues to seek the additional funding that is required.
