The ACC Minister's confident the insurer's growing deficit is on track to be brought under control. 

The scheme's recorded a net deficit of $1.5 billion, blowing the total out to $13.8 billion.

Minister Scott Simpson told Ryan Bridge the net deficit is still a lot better than last year's $7.2 billion shortfall. 

He says good work has already started, but there's still a lot to do. 

Simpson says this involves doing the basic stuff consistently well.
