Hospital and medical services accounted for £53 billion, or about 15% of the budget. The government spent about seven percent of revenue on debt, and similar amounts went towards defence (£22 billion) and law and order (£17 billion).
Spending on housing, transport and industry totaled £37 billion. Finally, other expenditure accounted for £23 billion.
