The Department of Health DEL has increased by £14,089,000 made up of:
£60,000 for additions to Invest to Save Budget awards.
a net transfer of £12,633,000 from the Ministry of Justice mainly for prison healthcare services;
a transfer of £1,396,000 from the Home Office as the Department’s share of a contribution to the migration impact fund; and
a transfer of £172,000,000 from Capital DEL to Revenue DEL as a result of the budgeting treatment of some pandemic flu items.
The Department of Health’s administration cost limit remains unchanged at £213,765,000.
The change to the Food Standards Agency element of the DEL is due to a token increase in FSA resource administration cost of £1,000 to allow for an increase in the net cash requirement and additional appropriations in aid.
