Answer
The Confidence and Supply funding was ring-fenced for the following purposes:
| Area | Total (£million) | Time Period |
| Infrastructure Development | 400 | 2 years |
| Ultra-fast Broadband | 150 | 2 years |
| Targeting Pockets of Severe Deprivation | 100 | 5 years |
| Health and Education Pressures | 100 | 2 years |
| Health Transformation | 200 | 2 years |
| Mental Health | 50 | 5 years |
£760 million was allocated in the period 2017-18 to 2019-20. £240 million of the funding (£150 million for Broadband, £60 million for tackling severe deprivation and £30 million for Mental Health) has now been withdrawn.
