The table below shows the overall budget (excluding capital) for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority in each year since 2010-11. This comprises the budget received from the Ministry of Justice, income received from Scottish Government and income received through the victim surcharge.

The reforms in 2012 and the current review are focused on protecting payments to those most seriously affected by their injuries, and ensuring the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme is affordable and sustainable.
