(a) The total allocation to beneficiaries includes statutory and direct grants. Statutory grants allocation increased in line with sales. Direct grants were allocated consistent with an approved set budget. The additional surplus will be allocated for direct grant beneficiaries in future years.
(b) Grant operations for 2018-19 includes the incorporation of the administrative costs for Healthway's grants program. It does not reflect an increase in the administration in Lotterywest grants and is not linked to sales performance.
