Notes:
1. Factory Support Grant was a small scale aspect of Workstep intended to help improve specialist disability employment services by providing
funding for supported businesses to, for example, buy new machinery or modernise the services they offer.
2. Current year figures are based on actual spend, as shown in the departmental general ledger, and forecasts which are subject to change.
3. For the purposes of this answer, grants are interpreted to be one-off payments to individuals or other entities to support the objectives of
the Department. Payments which are on-going in nature, for example subsidies to local authorities for housing benefit administration, or
grants in aid to non-departmental public bodies have not been included.
4. Funding for the Factory Support Grant, the Future Jobs Fund, and the Deprived Areas Fund have either already ended or will end this
financial year.
5. The Department is now working through the financial implications of its spending review settlement and details are not available on future
funding amounts for particular grants at present.
