Autumn Budget 2021 confirmed an additional £1.3bn for the devolved administrations this year:

  • £605m for the Scottish Government
  • £425m for the Welsh Government
  • £235m for the Northern Ireland Executive

These figures include Barnett consequentials resulting from the additional £5.4bn provided to the NHS in England to support the Covid-19 response over the coming months. Precise detail on the consequentials resulting from this spending will be provided in the next publication of the Block Grant Transparency.
