<br />
The Scottish Fiscal Commission says today that managing the Scottish public finances will be very difficult again in the coming financial year. Their latest economic and fiscal forecasts also show the effects of COVID will be felt for a long time.<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Government is implementing public health measures to control COVID and at the same time introducing policies to reduce the ensuing economic harm to people and businesses. The funding available to the Scottish Government continues to change: additional COVID funding rose from £3.5 billion in April to £8.6 billion in December. It is now clear the pandemic will continue into the next financial year and  the UK Budget in March is likely to include additional UK spending on COVID. More funding later in the financial year remains a possibility.  Any further increases in UK Government spending on COVID in devolved areas, such as health, in 2021 will feed through to the Scottish Government.<br />
 <br />
All of this makes it harder for the Scottish Government to balance its budget. Increases in funding are welcome and important, but the later they happen in the budget year, the harder it is for the Scottish Government to spend them effectively.<br />
 <br />
The Commission forecasts the latest lockdown will reduce economic activity in the first quarter of 2021 by 5 per cent. The effect on GDP is expected to be less than in the first lockdown because more sectors of the economy, like construction and manufacturing, are staying open.<br />
 <br />
The OBR’s November 2020 forecasts were made before the current lockdown was announced and so took a more optimistic view of the UK economy than the Commission’s forecasts for Scotland published today. As a result the criteria for a “Scotland-specific economic shock” are met, giving the Scottish Government additional borrowing powers for the next three years.<br />
 <br />

The Scottish Fiscal Commission says today that managing the Scottish public finances will be very difficult again in the coming financial year. Their latest economic and fiscal forecasts also show the effects of COVID will be felt for a long time.<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Government is implementing public health measures to control COVID and at the same time introducing policies to reduce the ensuing economic harm to people and businesses. The funding available to the Scottish Government continues to change: additional COVID funding rose from £3.5 billion in April to £8.6 billion in December. It is now clear the pandemic will continue into the next financial year and  the UK Budget in March is likely to include additional UK spending on COVID. More funding later in the financial year remains a possibility.  Any further increases in UK Government spending on COVID in devolved areas, such as health, in 2021 will feed through to the Scottish Government.<br />
 <br />
All of this makes it harder for the Scottish Government to balance its budget. Increases in funding are welcome and important, but the later they happen in the budget year, the harder it is for the Scottish Government to spend them effectively.<br />
 <br />
The Commission forecasts the latest lockdown will reduce economic activity in the first quarter of 2021 by 5 per cent. The effect on GDP is expected to be less than in the first lockdown because more sectors of the economy, like construction and manufacturing, are staying open.<br />
 <br />
The OBR’s November 2020 forecasts were made before the current lockdown was announced and so took a more optimistic view of the UK economy than the Commission’s forecasts for Scotland published today. As a result the criteria for a “Scotland-specific economic shock” are met, giving the Scottish Government additional borrowing powers for the next three years.<br />

Health Secretary Shona Robison has been warned by the Scottish Conservatives that they are putting hery "on notice" ahead of a Holyrood debate on financial problems facing health boards. Following the publication of review  by the government today – but without a government press release alongside it - proposes to: “re – evaluate inclusion/ exclusion criteria of cancer types subject to CWT (cancer waiting times )standards while taking into account the level of resource available for any additional data collection requests. Review evidence for making CWT standards timings variable according to tumour biology”<br />
<br />
These proposals suggest the government is planning to scrap the 31 and 62 day standards, with different targets for different types of cancer.  Scottish Labour are asking the Health Secretary to go. <br />
<br />
Labour Health spokesperson Anas Sarwar said: “Cancer should be a national priority.  In the last year more than 1,700 people suspected of having cancer had to wait longer than the expected treatment standard.  Even after being referred for treatment by doctors, more than 1,200 people with cancer had to wait longer than the expected treatment standard.  These are Shocking figures that expose the failure of this Health Secretary. Today, unbelievably, the Health Secretary sneaks out this report which shows that rather than improve their performance, the Government’s plan is to scrap the standard waiting time for cancer. This is shameful behaviour from a shameless Health Secretary. After trying to blame bad weather for performance yesterday, she is trying to bury bad news on cancer waiting times. Enough is enough – Shona Robison has to go.”<br />
