If A is a finite dimensional algebra then its blocks are in one-to-one correspondence with its primitive central idempotents. The aim of this paper is to study this interaction for a class of noetherian algebras arising naturally in representation theory. This class includes the universal enveloping algebra of a reductive Lie algebra in positive characteristic and its quantised counterpart, the quantised enveloping algebra of a Borel subalgebra and the quantised function algebra of a semisimple algebraic group at roots of unity.
