Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the publication of the Resource Spending Review on 31 May 2022, whether any support will be made available for (a) new health services and (b) activities beyond those already committed to for the remainder of the current parliamentary session.
Answer
The Resource Spending Review set out broad parameters for resource spend to 2026-27, provided an overarching financial framework to support the focus on delivery of key Scottish Government priorities and put in place a foundation for ongoing efficiency and reform. It was not a budget, with the normal processes of the Programme for Government and annual budget being where policy and funding decisions are made.
