Expenditure comes from each institution's annual record; quarterly rows are excluded so nothing is double-counted, and where an institution carries more than one annual record for a year the larger allocation is used. Share is that institution's expenditure as a percentage of all institutional spending recorded for the selected fiscal year, change compares with the institution's own previous-year record, and cost per employee is annual expenditure divided by active staff.
