Information requested

Where is the evidence behind the totals?

Response

In 2024/25, Health Boards were required to provide monthly reports to Scottish Government on spend and activity delivered with the £30 million planned care funding. This information from Boards was collated to provide the totals which were cited by the First Minister in Parliament and accordingly is held by the Government as supporting evidence.
