Notes:
1Continual refinements have been made to the programme budgeting data calculation methodology since the first collection in 2003-04. The underlying data which support programme budgeting data are also subject to yearly changes. Programme budgeting data should therefore not be used to analyse changes in investment in specific service areas between years.
2These figures have been calculated using published Aggregate Primary Care Trust Programme Budgeting Data and the gross domestic product deflator, as published at 29 March 2014.
