Mr Murphy (The Minister of Finance): This statement notifies the Assembly of the outcome of both the 2020-21 Provisional Outturn exercise and the Executive’s June Monitoring exercise.

 

2021-22 Provisional Outturn

The Provisional Outturn position provides an indication of departmental expenditure against budget during the last financial year, and also determines the amount of funding the Executive can carry forward through the Devolved Administration Budget Exchange Scheme (BES). The position for 2020-21 is complicated by the unprecedented levels of COVID-19 funding and the rapid establishment of unique support measures

At the end of the last financial year we were left with hundreds of millions pounds in Covid funding that was at risk of being returned to Treasury. In the absence of bids from other Departments the Department of Finance developed contingency plans to utilise the funding. These contingency plans, and good Departmental management of budgets, has led to reported underspends of £95.3 million Resource DEL and £22.6 million Capital DEL.

The level of overall department underspend for both Resource DEL and Capital DEL were minimised, a position for which  departments should be commended on achieving whilst dealing with the impact of the pandemic and resulting  significant uncertainties.

The Department for Finance has reported an under spend of £44.0 million relating to the Business Support Schemes. These schemes were developed as a contingency and at pace following an allocation very late in the financial year, on 25 March 2021, and DoF had little previous trend information on which estimates could be based. The under spend which was due to lower uptake on the schemes than originally anticipated is a result of these two factors.

The Department of Education has reported an under spend of £22.0 million. £19.5 million of this relates to Education Authority spend which was impacted by the unpredictable schooling environment presented by the pandemic.

Having engaged with my department in advance DoH has reported a slight overspend in relation to PPE, however given the circumstances including the reconfiguration of services in 2020-21 to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is to be commended for its budgetary management in coming within 0.1% of its budget.

Turning to Capital DEL, underspend reported is £22.6 million comprising of £22.3 million conventional and £0.3 million ring-fenced Financial Transactions Capital.

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs reported an underspend of £5.0 million, £4.9 million of which relates to Ireland/NI Protocol funding for boundary regulatory inspection capability work which did not progress in line with the original estimates. Protocol funding is not eligible for carry forward as it is ring-fenced for that specific issue.

A significant element of the underspend reported by departments is due to the impact of COVID-19 on capital programmes with interrupted supply chains, site closures and planning or legal delays.

Budget Exchange Scheme

The Devolved Administrations can access a limited amount of a previous year’s underspend through the Treasury’s Budget Exchange Scheme.

The underspend the Executive can access in the following year is calculated at block level meaning changes for regional rates, RRI interest payments and specific ring-fenced funding such that related to the Protocol compared to the level forecast, must also be taken into account.

Taken together the total Resource DEL underspend which is eligible for carry forward is £85.7 million and Conventional Capital DEL £17.8 million. Both are within the Budget Exchange Scheme limits and as such there is no non ring-fenced Resource or Conventional Capital DEL lost to the Executive.

The overall underspend on ring-fenced Financial Transactions Capital amounts to £55.6 million.

The Budget Exchange Scheme provides the potential to carry forward £29.2 million FTC of the underspend to 2021-22 meaning £26.4 million (28.5%) has been returned to Treasury. This reflects the challenge associated with identifying suitable projects that can avail of this finance that can only be used for loans or equity investments in the private sector.

This is however an improvement on 2019-20 where £72.0 million (54.0%) was lost.

On ring-fenced Resource DEL, departments have reported an under spend of £156.8 million including £143.7 million relating to Student Loan impairments. There was also £245.1 million of unallocated funding held centrally. This was primarily as a result of £443.8 million of Barnett consequentials received for Student Loan impairments of which £373.3 million was not required by DfE. This has resulted in a total underspend of £401.9 million on ring-fenced Resource DEL which exceeds the amount available for carry forward by £395.7 million.

While this level of underspend may seem concerning, non ring-fenced Resource DEL may only be used for the non cash costs relating to depreciation and impairments and therefore this underspend has no impact on the level of funding available for public services.

 

2021-22 June Monitoring

Funding

Following publication of the 2021-22 Budget, there have been a number of changes which have resulted in additional funding being available for allocation.

Barnett Consequential of £11.7 Resource DEL, £11.3 million Capital DEL and £0.1 million Financial Transactions Capital have been received as a result of the Westminster Main Estimates process.

Changes to a number of central items, including regional rates forecasts have provided an additional £14.4 million Resource DEL and £6.5 million Capital DEL for allocation.

Following the May 2021 Covid Exercise commissioned specifically to allocate COVID-19 funding £14.9 million Resource DEL, £33.6 million Capital DEL and £19.3 million Financial Transactions Capital remained for inclusion in June Monitoring.

Reduced Requirements

Reduced requirements declared by departments come to £20.7 million Resource DEL and £23.4 million Capital DEL.

Full details are included in the tables provided with this Statement.

Reclassification

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs request to reclassify £1.6 million from Resource DEL to Capital DEL for Common Market Organisation Funding has been approved. This provides an additional £1.6m for reallocation with a corresponding pressure on the capital budget.

The result of these changes is that £149.0 million Resource DEL, £91.0 million Capital DEL and £57.6 million Financial Transactions Capital DEL are available to address both the more routine pressures and those arising as a result of COVID-19.

Allocations
Resource DEL

Departments submitted Resource DEL bids of £341.5 million, the detail of which is provided in Annex F. The Executive has allocated the total funding available to it, totalling £149 million. Details of these allocations are provided in Annex G.

£4.8 million has been allocated to the Department for Communities. This provides:

  • £2.0 million to help address the backlog of benefit appeal hearings.
  • £1.3 million for Employment practices voluntary and community sector.
  • £1.5 million for Housing Executive for the fundamental review of Allocations and Transformation.

The Department for the Economy receives £0.9 million to support Tourism NI events including the One Young World Summit due to take place in Belfast in May 2023.

The Department of Education receives £39.0 million of which £27.7 million is to support Special Educational Needs (SEN), Additional Educational needs, SEN transport and temporary specialist support and £8.0 million is for a SEN Co-ordinator, Learning Support Co-ordinator and implementation of the new SEN framework.

While DE has identified a number of COVID-19 pressures relating to school some of these pressures will only crystallise if there are further restrictions in the next academic year therefore £3.3 million has been allocated at this time but the Executive will consider further funding should more pressures materialise

A Resource DEL allocation of £54.7 million has been agreed for the Department of Health. This provides:

  • £31.5 million to aid with pressures in Elective Care.
  • £10.7 million for Pharmaceutical pressures as a result of Brexit.
  • £7.0 million for the pharmaceutical Price Scheme.
  • £4.5 million for Muckamore Abbey Hospital during the ongoing investigation to ensure staffing levels, the safeguarding of investigations and the provision of alternative acute learning disability assessment and treatment in the Northern Trust area.
  • £1.0 million  for Cyber Security.

£14.6 million is provided to the Department for Infrastructure. This includes £2.6 million for road maintenance, £1.0 million for NI Water and £11 million for lost income pressures.

£11.5 million has been allocated to the Department of Justice. This includes £4.5 million for legal services, £2.0 million for PSNI Protocol pressures and £5.0 million for pressures arising as a result of legislative change in the personal injury discount rate. Negotiations are ongoing with Treasury for additional funding for both Protocol costs and PIDR.

In light of the concerns raised around Victims Pensions and the need to have funding in place to provide certainty for victims an allocation of £19 million to TEO for this purpose is proposed at this time. Discussions continue with the British Government regarding this matter. I also propose to allocate £1.0 million for the Communities in Transition Programme, the remaining element of this bid can be considered in October Monitoring when there is more certainty on funding profiles.

Capital DEL

All the bids for Capital DEL submitted by departments have been met, totalling £61.3 million.

This provides £26.6 million to the Department for Communities for a range of housing projects, including £8.3 million to the Housing Executive for property adaptations for tenants living with disability.

The Department of Education receives £18.0 million, £14.0 million of which is for additional accommodation, required for September, across both the Special Educational Needs School’s estate and wider School’s estate. The remaining £4.0 million is to assist in funding the Education Authority ICT programme.

The Department of Health will receive £11.5 million of additional Capital DEL. £8.4 million for replacement of equipment, vehicles and essential maintenance work across the health estate. £2.1 million for Invest to Save projects designed to reduce the health estate running costs and £1.0 million to provide a first phase pilot Mental Health Rehabilitation Facility. This facility is the first of its kind and will address an identified gap in care.

The Department for Infrastructure will receive £5.1 million to advance the A5 and A6 flagship schemes.

£0.1 million is being provided to The Executive Office primarily for ICT costs.

Financial Transactions Capital Funding

An allocation of £8.0 million ring-fenced Financial Transactions Capital has been made to the Department for Communities in respect of the over 55’s shared ownership scheme. 

The Executive Office have received £3.2 million for capitalised interest on FTC loans administered by the Strategic Investment Board.

Flexibility

Departments need to respond as dynamically as possible to the fluctuating financial position. I provided departments with additional flexibility during 2020-21. Having reviewed the utilisation and effectiveness of this change I have decided to continue with the additional flexibility as standard procedure through the in-year process. As such departments will have the flexibility to reallocate budgets across spending areas. There are restrictions to this flexibility to protect ring-fenced funding and where an allocation has been made by the Executive for particular purpose. Departments have been made aware of this change through the In-year Monitoring of Public Expenditure Guidelines.

Details of movements across spending for each department are included in the tables provided with this Statement.

 

June Monitoring Outcome

All Resource DEL funding currently available has now been allocated.

Having met all Capital DEL submitted there remains £29.7 million unallocated. Given the position on Capital DEL I have decided to reduce RRI borrowing by £30 million leaving a small over commitment of £0.3 million. This can be revisited in October Monitoring where a decision to access further borrowing can be made, depending on the Capital bids submitted at that stage.

£46.4 million Financial Transactions Capital remains unallocated at the conclusion of June Monitoring.

This year Monitoring Statements are accompanied by tables outlining the detail of changes to Spending Areas within departments. The Executive agreed a number of in-year allocations as part of the May Covid exercise which are set out in the table. For clarity and transparency the tables which accompany this statement will capture all changes subsequent to the Budget 2021-22 published outcome.
