The total budget for Contracted Employment Programmes for 2016-17 is £426.6m. It is not possible to publish the disaggregation of this figure to individual programmes, as this is subject to change throughout the year.

We are unable to provide any information for future years as funding has not yet been finalised at this level of detail.
