14. Review of the results
14.1 The Net Resource requirement was £578,127,000 compared
to an estimate provision of £583,551,000, a saving of £5,424,000
which can be attributed in the most part to a reduced demand for
grants and subsidies under National Schemes. The Net Cash requirement
was £556,184, compared to a provision of £561,651,000,
a saving of £5,467,000.
14.2 Operating Income comprised £1,805,528,000 of which
£32,046,000 was attributable to the Agencies and £1,635,356,000
was from the EU, and was Appropriated-in-Aid and £255,000
which was surrendered to the Consolidated Fund.
14.3 Net Administration Cost was £376,353 and Net Programme
Cost was £201,519,000, the latter reflecting the amount of
programme work undertaken by the Agencies on behalf of the department.
14.4 Output and Performance Analysis shows that 95 per cent
of the targets set were met and there were efficiency gains of
10 per cent.
14.5 Administration Cost Limits. The Outturn against the
various Administration Cost limits for each Request for Provision
shows that in all cases Outturn was within the limits set.
