The projected £75m cuts will come on top of £300m of savings previously found since 2010.

A senior general in the US military has warned against the idea of cutting the Royal Navy amphibious assault ships, Devonport-based HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, as well as a thousand Royal Marines.
The government is currently reviewing all three armed services, with each being asked to put forward other options - though no decisions have yet been made.
Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, the commander of the US Army in Europe, says Britain's armed forces can't afford to get any smaller if the UK wants to continue to be a lead member of NATO.

Tributes have been paid to Trevor Bell who was among the great names who emerged from the art scene in St Ives in the 1950s.
Image source, Joseph ClarkeYorkshireman Bell, who first came to Cornwall in 1955, has died aged 87.
Chris Stevens, former head of modern British art at Tate Britain, said Bell was "one of the leading figures" in the third generation of artists who were drawn to St Ives.
Bell was encouraged to come to St Ives by one of the leading lights of the St Ives school, Terry Frost.
"He had a natural painting ability," said Mr Stevens. "Patrick Heron called him one of the best non-figurative painters in the country."
Bell was renowned for huge shaped canvases.
"He developed a way of painting based on his experience of landscape and the sea and he was incredibly focused and uncompromising," said Mr Stevens.
Like many artists Bell left St Ives in the 1960s and returned to his roots in Leeds, but he returned in the 1990s and stayed.

Adopted and with no family nearby, Lizzie Picken thought that her 100th birthday would be a quiet affair.
Instead the staff of Plymouth's Evergreen Residential Home where Lizzie has lived since June planned a special surprise.
Taking to social media, the staff asked the public to send birthday cards to Lizzie after she joked that she'd love to receive 100 for her 100th celebration.
Lizzie said she was "overwhelmed" and staff believe she has now received more than 1,000 cards from as far afield as Florida, Canada, and New Zealand.
The batch includes postcards from cruise ships, flowers from strangers, and drawings from people she's never met.

Cornish Pirates coach Gavin Cattle has hailed Redruth flanker Chris Fuca for his 'awesome' contribution to the team.
The 32-year-old signed a short-term deal as cover for the club's British and Irish Cup tie against Ulster 'A'.
He also featured as a replacement in the Championship win at Doncaster - his first appearance at that level after more than a decade in the third and fourth tiers with Redruth.
Image source, Dan Barbary/Redruth RFC"He didn't just do a job, he was an asset," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"His referee management, his banter, the way he goes about things, he went to work for us, especially in that British and Irish Cup game - his tackle stats were something like 20, which is very high.
"He's done an awesome job and I'm just glad that he gets a bit of recognition at Championship level because it's something he deserved."

The 14-year-old schoolboy from Bovey Tracey who died after his backpack got caught in a chair lift on a school skiing trip, was one of Britain's "brightest maths prospects" and had "hoped to become a GP".

CPR was administered before he was flown by helicopter to a local hospital.
He was transferred to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital where he died on 17 March 2011.
The inquest continues.

Exeter is making a bid to become the most active city in the UK.
After becoming the most physically active city in the South West a year ahead of target, the city wants to achieve this further accolade by 2020.
Two surveys by Sport England showed 44% of adults in Exeter take part in sport for at least 30 minutes at least once per week - the highest percentage across the region.
Councillor Phil Bialyk - lead for health and wellbeing - said: “This is no time to rest on our laurels."
"We’re committed to sustaining participation amongst people who are already active, as well as encouraging groups where activity is generally lower to find a sport or exercise activity that suits them."

Police are unsure how a man received life-changing injuries after being found unconscious on a main road in Devon.
It happened on the A39 near to the Abbotsham Cross roundabout, Bideford, on Tuesday night.
The injured man, 21, was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth where he is being treated for "life-changing" injuries after being found by a member of the public.
A police spokesman said: “It is yet to be established as to how the cyclist came to be injured. He could have been knocked off by an unknown car or he could have fallen off his bike.
“We are seeking the public’s assistance to establish the facts surrounding how this man came to be knocked unconscious."
Police are appealing for witnesses.
An inquest is continuing into the death of 14-year-old schoolboy, Kieran Brookes, from Devon who died in a freak accident on a school skiing trip to France in 2011.
Devon Coroners Court has been hearing details of the interviews conducted by Devon and Cornwall Police with pupils and staff also on the trip.
Statements taken said it took about 15 minutes for the emergency services to get the boy down from a chair lift after his backpack got stuck and led to him being asphyxiated by his clothing.
One teacher, Charlotte Seymour, who was on the chair behind Brookes said she could see a boy "suspended from the chair kicking and shouting" but didn't know it was the Bovey Tracey pupil until there was a head count later.
Kieran died at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital three weeks after the incident.
The hearing continues.
