Officials are working closely with HM Treasury to work through the details which lie behind the recent UK Government public sector funding commitments in order to narrow our own planning assumptions.
The level of consequential funding received will depend on several factors including whether this will be funded with new money or through savings or reprioritisation within existing Whitehall departmental budgets.
Consequential funding will be confirmed as part of the Supplementary Estimates process 2024-25.
