Notes:

It has been assumed that "budget" and "budget estimate" both refer to the budget submitted by authorities to central Government at the beginning of the financial year. It has also been assumed that "standard spending assessment" and "standard spending estimate" both refer to the final SSAs issued by DOE following the local authority settlement debate.

The difference shown is calculated by subtracting the SSA from the budget for each year.

Budget data has been adjusted to exclude expenditure directly funded by specific grants to make it comparable with the standard spending assessment.

Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the percentage change in(a) net and (b) gross expenditure on personal social services from 1985–86 to 1991–92 adjusted by the personal social services deflator.

Mr. Yeo

The latest estimates for revenue expenditure in 1991–92 represent real terms increases of 30.4 per cent. for net expenditure and 22.5 per cent. for gross expenditure over expenditure in 1985–86.
