📈 As we emerge from the pandemic, we face crucial decisions.
❓ Do you want Scotland's recovery in Scotland's hands, or those of Boris Johnson?
🗳️ If it's safe to do so, we will offer Scotland this choice in the first half of this parliament - by the end of 2023. #ScotPfG
💷 We will increase frontline health spending by 20% each year, making it at least £2.5 billion higher by 2026-27.
🏥 We’ll also invest £10 billion in new and upgraded hospitals and facilities - increasing capacity and tackling backlogs. #ScotPfG
🧠 We’re ensuring that 10% of all frontline health spend will be dedicated to improving and expanding mental health.
🤝 This includes £120 million this year to support the immediate recovery of mental health services. #ScotPfG
Drug-related deaths are heartbreaking and unacceptable, and it is our national mission to tackle it.
We’re committing to invest £250 million to tackle Scotland’s drug deaths emergency - ensuring better outreach, treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare services. #ScotPfG
🤝 As a minimum, we’ll deliver £800 million more for social care - that’s an increase of 25% by the end of this parliament.
💛 And we will introduce a Bill to establish Scotland’s new National Care Service, the most significant reform since the creation of the NHS. #ScotPfG
🎒 We will invest £1bn to tackle the poverty-related attainment gap - and we’ve already invested £215 million in the first 100 days of this Government.
🧑🏼🏫 This will help fund 3,500 additional and permanent teachers, on top of the 1,400 recruited during the pandemic. #ScotPfG
🏠 We’re working hard to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home - delivering more affordable homes and investing extra £50 million to tackle homelessness.
✅ On top of the 100,000 we've already delivered, we will deliver 110,000 more affordable homes by 2032. #ScotPfG
🏘️ We’re determined to deliver fairer housing, with stronger tenants’ rights in the rented sector.
🤝 We will bring forward a Housing Bill and design and implement an effective national system of rent controls. #ScotPfG
🏴 We have a bold plan for a fairer, greener economic recovery for Scotland.
🌊 This includes a £500 million fund for a Just Transition in the North East - supporting new, good and green jobs of the future, and re-skilling people to access them. #ScotPfG
🏡 We will invest at least £1.8 billion to make Scotland’s homes and buildings more efficient and easier to heat - while also tackling fuel poverty.
🌍 This will help decarbonise a million homes by 2030, and help us reach net zero by 2045. #ScotPfG
