The Department allocates budgets including, for the School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme on the basis of financial years (beginning in April) rather than academic years (beginning in September). The Department has not yet set its central budgets, which include the School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, for the 2015-16 financial year which covers the first seven months of the 2015-16 academic year. The remaining five months of the 2015-16 academic year fall into the 2016-17 financial year which will be subject to the next Spending Review.
