In addition to direct expenditure, the share of administration costs allocated to the Health and Sport portfolio is £nil. This gives a total net expenditure of £13,855m.

With effect from 2017-18, gross income and expenditure for the portfolio excludes income received from Integration Authorities on the basis that this presentation better reflects the funding relationship between Integration Authorities and NHS Boards. This adjustment has no impact on the portfolio's net outturn position.
Income of £5,879m was received by Boards in 2018-19 (2017-18: £5,412m) for provision of healthcare services commissioned by Integration Authorities. NHS funding to Integration Authorities for 2018-19 totalled £5,988m (2017-18: £5,486m).

Explanation of Major Variances greater than £3m:

Note 1 Lower than anticipated charges for impairments.

Note 2 Variance relates to Financial Transactions, which is a ring-fenced form of funding for specific purposes and cannot be spent on other capital projects. The underspend arises from timing of funding for the GP sustainability loans scheme, which is now being delivered in 2019-20.

Note 3 Adjustment to the spend profile of four hub projects resulting from minor changes in the project timelines.

Remaining £2m relates to the ring-fenced non-cash depreciation budget and cannot be used to buy goods and services.
