Question reference: S6W-43588

Asked by: Jackie Baillie, MSP for Dumbarton, Scottish Labour
Date lodged: Monday, 09 February 2026
Current Status: Answered by Neil Gray on 17 February 2026

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answers to questions S6W-32146 and S6W-43022 by Neil Gray on 19 December 2024 and 27 January 2026 respectively, and in light of it being able to provide a breakdown in its answer to question S6W-32146, whether it will provide the information requested in question S6W-43022, regarding a detailed breakdown of the £100 million allocated to reform and improvement measures.

In 2026-27, we will build on the progress already achieved, with £100 million available to support further reductions in waiting times and to enhance patient flow across the Health System. This will ensure continued improvements in timely access to care for patients.

The 2026-27 budget has not yet been passed by Parliament and is at draft stage. Spending plans are still being developed by policy leads, therefore there we are not in a position at this point to provide a detailed breakdown of what the budget will deliver.
