The latest official figures and analyses of public expenditure by country, region and function were published by HM Treasury on Thursday 18 July 2019. This provides comparable per capita spending figures for the UK as a whole, its regions and countries.

Total identifiable expenditure per head in Scotland was £10,881 in 2017/18, this compares to £9,080 in England for the same period. This publication does not provide comparable statistics for Northamptonshire.
