Reserves
Money in the general reserves (§ 35) is often allocated to the ministries later. These reserves belong to the area by name:
The general reserves (§ 35) also contain »Reserve til ældreområdet«: 20.5 m DKK in 2027 (2026: 220.0 m DKK). Source: Økonomistyrelsen, § 35.11.38

A change for a ministerial area is not necessarily a cut or an increase. Money can sit in reserves and only be allocated later, and tasks can move between ministries.
The figures are in current prices – they are not adjusted for price increases.
⚠ Comparison uncertain: in this file, 2026 is 2.3 bn DKK in expenses (net). In the adopted Finance Act for 2026, the area was 261.0 m DKK in expenses (net) – e.g. because tasks have been moved between ministries.
