Notes: 1. Data are collected at local education authority (LEA) level. Included here are the data for all London LEAs. 2. Recorded here is expenditure in relation to the authority's youth service. This includes provision at residential and non-residential youth centres, including activity, outdoor and urban studies centres related to youth service provision. Also includes development workers, advisors and youth leaders not based at youth centres. This excludes any capital expenditure. 3. The expenditure data to 1998-99 are drawn from the annual `RO1' spending returns which local authorities submitted to the ODPM. Figures for 1999-2000 to 2001-02 were drawn from section 52 (table 3) outturn statements which LEAs submitted to the DfES. Figures for 2002-03 are taken from section 52 (table A) outturn statements. 4. The priority age group for youth services is 13-19 (although youth services can also provide support for targeted groups in the 11 to 13 and 19 to 25 age ranges). In order to provide a figure for expenditure per capita on youth services we have divided each London LEA's net current expenditure on youth services by the total population aged 13-19 within that authority. The population figures are estimated resident mid year population figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and these have recently been revised following the 2001 Census. Thus for financial year 1996-97 we have used the population estimate from mid year 1996 and for 1997-98 we used the mid 1997 estimate (and so on). 5. Data (cash terms) are as reported by the LEA at 24 October 2004.
