<p>Rather than receiving funding for specific programmes or policy areas, the devolved
administrations receive block grants from the UK Government. It is generally for the
devolved administrations to decide how to allocate their block grant funding in devolved
areas.</p><p> </p><p>All changes to devolved administration block grants are published
in the Block Grant Transparency document, which is due to be updated shortly. The
latest publication is here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/block-grant-transparency-december-2021"

</p><p>The devolved administrations are well-funded to deliver all their devolved
responsibilities, each receiving over 20% more funding per person than equivalent
UK Government spending in other parts of the UK. This is around 25% more for the Scottish
Government and around 20% more for the Welsh Government and NI Executive.</p>
