In accordance with international accounting standards, the Department holds £70 million of accruals for untaken leave carried forward by civil servants in prior years. Funding for the Annual Leave Payment Scheme will be drawn from this figure, the amount of which will be dependent on overall uptake which we are currently measuring.
