The information is as follows:
(a) The information you requested for the National Probation Service, which includes the 42 National Probation Boards, budgets held centrally on behalf of Boards e.g. Drug Testing and Treatment Orders and the central costs for the National Probation Directorate (NPD) is:
£ million Resource budget 882.6 Forecast outturn 880.0 Capital budget 7.2 Forecast outturn 6.0
(b) The following table shows the most recent 2006-07 budget and forecast outturn information for the 42 National Probation Boards, including resource and capital. Outturn costs are made up of actual expenditure to mid-February and a forecast to the end of the year. Due to various factors in the way that budgets are allocated there will be further additional budgetary allocations and reductions made to boards before the end of the financial year. These figures are therefore subject to revision.
