<p>This information was published in August, as part of the Revenue Outturn (RO3)
statistical returns, and can be found online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing-england-2013-to-2014-individual-local-authority-data-outturn"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing-england-2013-to-2014-individual-local-authority-data-outturn</a></p><p>This
is the first year that such data has been published, following the new responsibilities
being passed to local authorities.</p><p> </p><ul><li>The new data is provisional,
as reported by local authorities.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Shire districts will be
listed with zero entries, as they do not have responsibility for public health.</li></ul><p>
</p><ul><li>At the time of publication forms had not been received from Sefton and
Southwark local authorities. The England totals shown include imputed values for these
authorities.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Some upper-tier authorities may have zero entries
for some columns due to the manner in which the information has been initially provided
by the local authority, by filling in the forms without the necessary detail. I would
therefore suggest caution about making comparisons on the categories of expenditure
between local authorities, based on the new draft data in its current form.</li></ul><p>
</p><p>We are continuing to work to validate and improve it, and to follow up data
anomalies with local authorities in partnership with Public Health England.</p><p>
</p><p>Final, validated, outturn data will be published later this year.</p><p> </p><p>
