Appendix B:  Expenses by function and sub‑function
Functional and sub-functional expense data provide details of the particular areas such as health, education and defence, into which government expenses were directed. Expenditure on some functions may occur solely through one government agency, such as defence, while expenditure on other functions may be directed through a number of agencies.
 It should be noted that as this data has been prepared on a AAS31 accrual (expense) basis, it is not directly comparable with functional data on cash outlays published in previous Final Budget Outcomes.
