NOTE:— The figures for 1962-63 are provisional and the figures for 1963-64 are estimated. Expenditure on Mental Health is included under Health. The Returns of Local Taxation no longer show separate figures for the mental health services, the administration of which was merged under the Health Authorities Act, 1960, with that of the general health services.
