Stage 1 report: Right to Addiction Recovery (Scotland) Bill - Consideration by other committees
During this session, the Member acknowledged challenges relating to the availability of data, particularly around unmet need, and the difficulty of producing accurate costs, however, he emphasised that “annual reporting to the Parliament will significantly improve that data because the Government will be duty bound to include it in a statement to the Parliament and will be held accountable for that”.
The potential for increases in costs due to unknown unmet need and the potential for a higher number of people coming forward as a result of increased awareness of treatment availability were also discussed during this session, alongside issues including -
capital investment and the use of private providers;
existing funding challenges faced by local authorities and the potential of the Bill to add further pressure on Councils’ budgets;
equitable delivery of the provisions in the Bill, including in rural areas;
the impact of increased employer National Insurance Contributions on the budget and local authority costs more generally; and
the possible impact of provisions in the Bill on communities in deprived areas.
