The funding position has changed due to the transfer of NTRG staff cost from the HR Directorate into the SOCT Directorate during 2017/18. The reason for the comparative budget reduction is that HR Directorate have held onto £0.2k budget for Facilities Management costs within the Learning &amp; Development Unit and the average pay used to set the pay budget allocation for 17/18 was based on average costs which are £7k lower than in previous years and will need to be adjusted next year to reflect Operational rather than HQ posts of approx. £0.41m.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>Figures on public sector expenditure at a regional level are part of the Government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics. These statistics attempt to allocate the spending according to where the benefits of that spend are accrued.</p><p>The statistics include spend on transport by all public sector organisations including the Department for Transport, Local Authorities, Public Corporations (in the case of transport, this is mainly spend by London Underground) and other Government Departments (including the devolved administrations). Comparisons between London and other regions are often not reliable due to difficulty in cost allocation.</p><p>This information is available for Government office regions only, and therefore is unavailable for Greater Manchester.</p><p> </p><p>Statistics for total public capital expenditure on transport per capita for London are given in the table below. The CRA measures the levels of ‘capital’ and ‘current’ expenditure.
