(1) These figures also include the costs of the Court of Protection for each year. The financial planning process to incorporate the budgetary transfers which are predicated on the organisational changes for the Court of protection is not complete; the figures therefore reflect the OPG and CP as one entity. (2) These figures have been taken from the Ministry of Justice's Departmental Annual Report 2008-09 and also include Court of Protection. (3) The public resource funding is due to remissions and exemptions.
