For comparative purposes, the previous year's figures used in the ‘Change from previous year’ calculations have been restated to reflect the changes to directorate structures, effective from March 2024.

The Net Expenditure movements for individual services are mainly due to previously specific Scottish Government funding being baselined into the General Revenue Grant in 2024-25 and additional funding for the 2023-24 Local Government Pay Award. In addition, accounting adjustments for pensions and capital charges have also caused movements in service budgets.
