This is really difficult! To my mind, it's more of matter of finding the actual 'fat' on budgets, so that none of the essentials of public services are wounded. For example, I have seen huge waste and profligacy in conference and meeting budgets, in both central government and local government. Many salaries at upper levels are too high. The quasi regional government bodies could go! Also, pruning of museum and galleries' budgets is an obvious target area.

We need more money, not less for mental health services, especially for adolescents, and we need serious funding for maternity services. I would support cancelling Trident, if the savings are put right back into the Defence budget. Crime and justice budgets should be protected (i.e. police, courts, prisons etc).

This is on the message Public spending cuts ?.
