PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING Stage 1 Debate: Budget (Scotland)(no.5) Bill
At a time when budgets and resources are stretched, and ever-increasing demands are being placed on Scotland’s health care services, it is imperative that funding decisions are taken in a wholly transparent manner, and that their success can be scrutinised in a meaningful way. Over a number of years the RCN has raised concerns that the presentation of the Scottish budget has not allowed us to assess how investment decisions relate to national policy or outcome priorities. If we continue to deliver care in the same way we do now, we know the demands on our health care services will outstrip our ability to pay for them. Tough decisions on what to invest in or disinvest from will need to be made, in partnership with the public, with staff and across all political parties.
