of 304.4

million

, which rose significantly to 318.6

million

in 2018. The majority of

this

funding provided by the national government accounted for 175.5

million

pounds in 2017, which increased slightly in the next year to 177.8

million

.

However

, 91.2

million

received from the local taxes in 2017, and 102.3

million

in 2018. Other

sources

(eg grants) account for the smallest portion of the financial

budget

; they gave 38

Million

in 2017 and 38.5 in 2018, which is moderately stable.

, a large portion of the financial

budget

was spent on the officer’s and staff’s salaries in both years. Salaries received 75% and 69% of the

budget

in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
