This publication sets out the background information used in the calculation of the revenue settlement for unitary and police authorities and is published by the Welsh Assembly Government in order to provide greater transparency in the publication of the annual local government revenue settlement.
It is important to bear in mind that while the report shows the Standard Spending Assessments (SSAs) for 2010-11 broken down into service categories, this breakdown is solely for the purpose of calculating the total SSA. The ability of unitary authorities to set their own spending priorities is a fundamental part of the Welsh Revenue Support Grant (RSG) distribution system.
