Expenditure on non-capital supply services is normally shown on a net basis. Gross expenditure on such services includes PRSI receipts and other appropriations-in-aid. The increases given for the years 1993 and 1994 reflect the provisional outturn for 1993 and estimate for 1994 for non-capital supply services contained in the pre-Budget 1994 Abridged Estimates Volume.
The 1994 Revised Estimates Volume, which will be published in the spring, will reflect budget day changes.
