Scotland’s Population – Meeting the Needs of our Communities, Economy and Public Services - Amendment

  • Submitted by: Daniel Johnson, Edinburgh Southern, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 26 September 2022
  • Motion reference: S6M-06063.2
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 27 September 2022

As an amendment to motion S6M-06063 in the name of Angus Robertson (Scotland’s Population – Meeting the Needs of our Communities, Economy and Public Services), insert at end "; notes that there are high levels of economic inequality across the regions of Scotland; acknowledges that investment in housing, jobs, services and infrastructure is necessary to retain existing populations in communities across Scotland, particularly in rural areas, which have faced depopulation in recent years; believes that years of inadequate funding and investment will mean that local authorities will face challenges in providing the necessary infrastructure and services to enable communities to grow; understands that a shrinking working-age population will negatively impact Scotland’s budget while an ageing population will place greater demand on health and care services, and calls on the Scottish Government to show the vision and ambition to meet these challenges and use all policy levers available to grow the economy and spread wealth and opportunity across every part of Scotland."
