The Work Programme spend for the years 2011/12 to 2015/16 is shown below.
Future funding (including 2016/17) is not available as budgets are subject to on-going review as part of the continuous planning process and are dependent on contract performance. Budgets can/will be subject to change as a result of balancing the Department’s overall expenditure within its allocated envelope.
2011/12 | 2012/13 | 2013/14 | 2014/15 | 2015/16 | |
Spend | Spend | Spend | Spend | Spend | |
£m | £m | £m | £m | £m | |
Work Programme | 283.2 | 453.1 | 635.9 | 573.7 | 416.4 |
