10 The above table only takes into account current trends and actual or planned commitments as defined earlier in footnote (2) on page 17. It does not, therefore, prejudge decisions relating to further new or improved services over the period which may be introduced within overall expenditure planning guidelines.
11 In considering these expenditure forecasts it should be remembered that individual service groups exhibit different characteristics which affect their underlying financial requirements. This may be due, for example, to the anticipated pattern of demand for a particular service, the phasing of capital programmes, the timing of the recurrent consequences of capital projects once completed, and the introduction of new or improved services to be implemented as part of the 1988-89 budget proposals.
