The UK government does not have a breakdown of spending per head for islands around Scotland and the rest of the UK. However, the latest figures for 2016-17 public expenditure per capita in Scotland and the rest of the UK were published in the government’s Country and Regional Analysis in November 2017, and can be found at the link below:
