Key Issues for Session 6 - 2023 Update - Progress so far
The Promise Oversight Board’s latest progress report published in June 2023 concluded that delivering Plan 21-24 will be challenging:
Sadly, due to the worsening circumstances for so many and the current pace of change, the Promise Oversight Board does not believe that delivering the original aims of Plan 21- 24 is realistic within its given timeframe.

The report calls for “leadership and drive” from the Scottish Government and scrutiny bodies to put in place clear “principles, outcomes and milestones that will guarantee the promise”.
