Expenditure
Despite the additional cost (£23,738) of the introduction of the School Milk
Scheme in October, 1971, total expenditure for 1971/72 was lower than in the previous
year because of the transfer on 1st April, 1971, to the Social Services Department, of
the functions relating to day nurseries, mental health, home help, recuperative holidays,
etc. The approximate net revenue expenditure for the year was £1,063,220; the
amount recovered in contributions and charges was approximately £258,640, including
re-imbursement of the cost of the School Health Service (£176,209) and the Government
Grant of half the cost of the Port Health Administration (£16,989).
