<p>The UK government is applying the Barnett formula in the normal way to the additional
funding for charities announced by the Chancellor.</p><p> </p><p>The devolved administrations
are receiving £60 million as a result of funding provided to the National Lottery
Communities Fund from the charities pot. This means £30m for the Scottish Government,
£18m for the Welsh Government and £10m for the Northern Ireland Executive, as confirmed
on the day of the announcement.</p><p> </p><p>Further Barnett allocations will be
provided in relation to the £360m direct grant pot. The UK government has agreed to
provide Hospices UK with up to £200m from this pot to support hospices in England.
The devolved administrations will therefore receive up to £38m in Barnett consequentials
on this element of the pot. This means up to £19m for the Scottish Government, £12m
for the Welsh Government and £7m for the Northern Ireland Executive. Further consequentials
are dependent on the final proposals funded from this pot so will be communicated
shortly.</p><p> </p><p>The UK government has so far announced almost £7 billion in
Covid-19 Barnett consequentials to the devolved administrations to support people,
business and public services in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.</p>
