Prioritising communities and public services, like our NHS, is a key mission for First Minister @HumzaYousaf.
In the face of UK austerity, we are providing over £19.5 billion for the NHS, health and social care, including over £2.1 billion for primary care.
We're delivering on our 10-year dementia strategy, launched by @MareeToddMSP, to help improve the lives of people with dementia and involve them in design and delivery of their care and support.
Person-centred public services are central to @HumzaYousaf's vision for Scotland.
We are investing more than £1.5 billion for policing to support frontline services and key priorities such as body-worn cameras, as well as nearly £400 million to support the fire service.
The Ambulance Service will get a further £60 million.

The draft #Brexit deal will make Scotland poorer, according to @scotgov analysis.
Scotland's interests are best protected by staying in the EU or, failing that, the European Single Market and Customs Union.
Here's a thread setting out our position on the proposed deal. ⬇️
The proposed deal ends free movement of people, and yet all of the population increase needed to grow our economy over the next 25 years will come from migration.
EU nationals provide vital support to help us meet the need for workers in key sectors such as research and care.
The impact on the NHS in Scotland is particularly concerning.
Ending free movement of people will make it harder for skilled and experienced health professionals from EU 27 countries to work in our #NHS, where they fill vacancies in hard to recruit specialisms and regions.
