Comparable figures are not available before that date. From the financial year 1997–98, Derbyshire was reorganised into two local authorities, Derby and Derbyshire: figures for both are shown. Expenditure on, and income from, the school meal service will vary from year to year according to—among other factors—the proportion of children taking up an entitlement to free school meals.
