The surplus generated by the National Lottery is surrendered to the Exchequer and is allocated to a number of Government Departments in the context of the annual Estimates process. The attached copies of Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services for each of the years 2006 to 2009 gives a breakdown by Department of subheads which were part funded by the surplus received from the National Lottery. The total outturn on such subheads and the amount which was funded from the National Lottery surplus is as follows:
