Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, a breakdown of GVA is available by broad industry heading rather than by function. Therefore, we do not hold a breakdown of GVA by function.

The data requested in the list below is either not included in GDP, not identified as a separate category within GDP calculations or contributes only in part to GDP calculations within relevant functions.

For the following areas, the data for GDP (expenditure measure) is not readily available, but a close estimate would be the data published in the following table for calendar years:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicspending/datasets/esatable11annualexpenditureofgeneralgovernment

In order to calculate the estimate, the columns for final consumption expenditure and capital formation (P3 and P5) can be added together. Differences between this dataset and the GDP dataset are mainly due to classification decisions, which have yet to be implemented in GDP.
