Since devolution Scotland's seen a long list of ambitious targets set for its economy, health & environment. It's more important to be more ambitious about activities and actions rather than headline outcomes #FMQs

Christie Commission almost a forgotten memory in the Scottish budget. Desperately trying to fund national services to tackle negative outcomes that have arisen partly from the long term erosion of vital (preventative) local services.

[Richard Marsh @rm4consulting]

Desperate need to revisit the Christie Commission which said "we must prioritise expenditure on public services which prevent negative outcomes from arising."

[Richard Marsh @rm4consulting]

Challenging financial settlements for both central and local government in the Scottish Government but lack of long term focus in allocating pubic spending.

[Richard Marsh @rm4consulting]

Some public services now delivered centrally. Even accounting for this local government spending hasn't kept pace with the economy and councils clearly are less well resourced to deliver local services.

[Richard Marsh @rm4consulting]

Local government spend as share of Scotland's economy peaked in 2005 (nearly 12%) currently around 8%. Central spending share risen nearly continuously from 12% to around 17.5% before pandemic (currently around 19%).

[Richard Marsh @rm4consulting]

In #scottishbudget debate today worth noting Scotland's shift from local to central government spending over 20 years. Late nineties central government spent £130 for every £100 spent by local government. Figure now currently around £220.
