Health and Social Care
Figure 8: Health and Social Care Budget 2026-27 at a glanceThe Health and Sport portfolio remains the largest across the Scottish budget, at just under £22.5 billion, and increases by 1% in real terms when compared to Autumn Budget Revision 2025-26 figures.
There is a £1.4 billion uplift for health board budgets, a 6.3% real terms increase on ABR 2025-26 funding, though much of this beyond a 2% baseline uplift will go towards pay settlements and other reforms as part of the pay settlements.
Amendment 92 pre-empts amendments 93, 26, 27, 94, 95, 28 and 96. Therefore, if amendment 92 is agreed to, I will not be able to call amendments 93, 26, 27, 94, 95, 28 and 96.
