Input indicator: fire and rescue expenditure

Expenditure per head on the Fire and Rescue Service #### How the figure is calculated: England total net current expenditure on the Fire and Rescue Service, divided by the mid-year population estimate for England. #### Why is this indicator in the business plan? This demonstrates the cost per head of providing the Fire and Rescue Service and will indicate over time whether the cost is going up or down. This indicator is of total revenue expenditure because the funding from the Department cannot be disaggregated from the total Fire and Rescue funding, which also includes locally raised funds, such as council tax. #### How often is it updated? Annually. A provisional figure will initially be released followed by a revised final outturn figure approximately three months later. #### Where does the data come from? The indicator is derived from two sources: The total expenditure figure is sourced from revenue summary returns to DCLG. Published figures are at [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing). The ONS population estimates that are used to derive a per head estimate are available at [http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/taxonomy/index.html?nscl=Population](http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/taxonomy/index.html?nscl=Population). #### What area does the headline figure cover? England. #### Are further breakdowns of the data available? Yes, can be split by Fire and Rescue Authority. #### What does a change in this indicator show? A decreasing figure will indicate that expenditure on the Fire and Rescue Service is falling, per head of population. For 2011-12, total expenditure also fell, while the population of England rose. #### Time Lag Provisional figures published within five months of end of the reporting period, with final figures being published within eight months of end of the reporting period. #### Next available update August 2014 - Provisional figure for 2013-14 #### Type of Data National Statistics. #### Robustness and data limitations The expenditure figures are subjected to rigorous pre-defined validation tests both within the relevant form itself, while the form is being completed by the authority, and also as the data are received and stored. Population figures are the definitive mid-year estimates published by ONS. #### Links to Further Information [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing) #### Contact Details [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail])消防和救援服务（Fire and Rescue Service）人均支出 #### 指标计算方式 英格兰地区消防和救援服务总经常性净支出，除以英格兰年中人口预估数。 #### 本指标纳入业务规划的原因 该指标可体现消防和救援服务的人均成本，并可随时间推移反映成本的升降趋势。本指标采用总收入支出口径，原因在于社区和地方政府部（Department for Communities and Local Government，简称DCLG）的拨款无法与包含本地自筹资金（如议会税（council tax））在内的消防和救援服务总资金拆分核算。 #### 更新频率 每年更新一次。首次发布初步数据，约三个月后发布修订后的最终决算数据。 #### 数据来源 本指标的数据来源于两个渠道： 1. 总支出数据来源于向社区和地方政府部（Department for Communities and Local Government，简称DCLG）提交的收入汇总申报表。已发布的相关数据可查阅：[https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing) 2. 用于计算人均支出的英国国家统计局（Office for National Statistics，简称ONS）人口预估数据可查阅：[http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/taxonomy/index.html?nscl=Population](http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/taxonomy/index.html?nscl=Population) #### 核心数据覆盖范围 英格兰地区。 #### 是否提供数据细分维度 是，可按消防和救援当局进行拆分。 #### 指标变动的含义 指标下降意味着按人口平均计算的消防和救援服务支出有所减少。以2011-2012财年为例，该年度总支出下降的同时，英格兰人口数量仍有所增长。 #### 数据时滞 初步数据于报告期结束后五个月内发布，最终数据于报告期结束后八个月内发布。 #### 下一次更新安排 2014年8月：发布2013-2014财年的初步数据。 #### 数据类型 官方统计数据（National Statistics）。 #### 数据可靠性与局限性 支出数据在消防和救援当局填报申报表的过程中，以及数据接收与存储阶段，均需通过严格的预设验证测试。人口数据采用英国国家统计局发布的权威年中人口预估数。 #### 更多信息链接 [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing) #### 联系方式 [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail])
