It's probably that old civil service ploy of leaving the waste and cutting back on what the public really want to give the impression that the cuts are beginning to hurt and galvanising the public to protest against further cuts.
I know it sounds mad, but I have seen this happen first hand in the public sector.
The BBC used to be the go-to channel for sport. It's lost a lot of it to pay TV but now it is giving up the sports output that is still available. The Corporation is becoming less relevant over time. Even its reputation for impartiality on reporting the news is now being questioned.
