This chapter presents a functional breakdown of expenditure. Functions are categories such as health, education and defence. These data have been updated in line with the Public Expenditure Outturns news release
Not all expenditure can be allocated to a function so a new aggregate is defined called "Total Expenditure on Services". This is spending within Total Managed Expenditure that can be allocated by function.
For further information on Total Expenditure on Services (TES) please see Appendix F in PESA 2004. The appendices of PESA 2004 are available from the link below in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer you can download the software free of charge from the Adobe website.
