Again, please be noted that this is based on FUNCTION.

It's worthy of paying some attention to a number of items.
(1)The decreasing percentage of budget spent on personnel expenditure.
(2) It also reflected on the administration and maintenance expenditure.
(3)A steady upsurge of "allocation", with a stable "contract-out" budget,
   may reflect the fact that there were a lot of jobs being done by
   people and institutions other than the Ministry of Health.
(4) Promotion and compensation expenditure is increasing, which suggests
    that bargaining power from the civil society may be increasing.
(5) Overall, the budget allocated to the Health-related affairs is
    increasing. But, together with Table I, the sophiscated and complex
    funding system to biomedical research, sociomedical research, and 
    other assessment research, may act to shield the whole system from 
    monitoring. (Refere to the Item 13 in Table I.)
