Note: The figures of total net expenditure of local authorities cannot be obtained by totalling the figures for expenditure given in above table. Such figures would be inflated by duplication as the figures for expenditure given above include contribution to other local authorities, e.g., expenditure figures for County Councils and County Borough Councils include contributions to separate health authorities, Mental Health Boards, etc.
