*Capital DEL includes items treated as Resource in Estimates and accounts but which are treated as Capital DEL in budgets. **Depreciation, which forms part of resource DEL, is excluded from the total DEL since the capital DEL includes capital spending and to include depreciation of those assets would lead to double counting. |
The Department of Health DEL has reduced by £789,000, this comprises:
a transfer of £211,000 from the Ministry of Justice mainly for prison healthcare services; and
a transfer of £1,000,000 to the Ministry of Justice for costs associated with the transfer of mental health review tribunals.
The Department of Health’s administration cost limit is unchanged.
The Food Standards Agency DEL figure remains unchanged overall, but there has been a switch from voted DEL to non voted DEL of £2,661,000. This is reducing voted DEL expenditure and increasing non voted DEL for the utilisation of pension and early retirement provisions. This is consistent with the Food Standards Agency increase in AME figures.
The Food Standards Agency’s administration costs limit is unchanged.
