Notes:
(i) Due to the fact that the Department changed its financial management system in 2004, actual outturn figures for 1997 to 2003 are not readily available and thus the figures given above for those years reflect the provisional outturn as published in the Revised Estimates Volumes.
(ii) Figures for 2004 to 2008 inclusive reflect the outturn in the Department's accounts.
