Schools: Defibrillators
(asked on 27th June 2023) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government what are the Barnett consequentials, if any, for Northern Ireland of the decision to roll-out provision for defibrillators for every school in England.
This question was answered on 11th July 2023
The Barnett formula is applied when departmental budgets change – not when departments announce how they are spending their budgets.
The funding for rolling out defibrillators in 2022-23 was from the Department for Educations existing Capital Budget. As such, there are no additional Barnett consequentials from this decision.
