1Capital DEL includes items treated as resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets.

2Depreciation, which forms part of Resource DEL, is excluded from the total DEL in the table above, since Capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting.
