Introduction

The Public Spending Review is about all the public services and the money that is allocated to them from the government.

The review outlines departmental expenditure limits. These are further divided into resource spending, which refers to the cost of policies, programmes and administration, and capital spends on assets – meaning buildings and roads.

The affect of these cuts is typically that all public services feel an increased pressure and strain on their operations. Cuts in any budget can also lead to a significant change in the way some public services operate.
