HOLYROOD MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND<br />
 <br />
“FAIRNESS, DIGNITY AND RESPECT” NOW AT HEART OF SYSTEM<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Parliament celebrated the first anniversary of Social Security Scotland, in a debate led by SNP MSP Shona Robison.<br />
 <br />
The agency made its first payments in September 2018, delivering the Carer’s Allowance Supplement – which has helped around 77,500 people - and the Best Start Grant - which has supported almost 10,000 low-income families.<br />
 <br />
Social Security Scotland will also deliver a new £10 Scottish Child Payment - described as a “game changer” by anti-poverty campaigners and estimated to lift 30,000 children out of poverty – ahead of schedule in 2020.<br />
 <br />
Speaking in the debate, Shona Robison MSP said:<br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for me when this parliament passed the Social Security (Scotland) Bill. <br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for all of us who want to see a fairer, more respectful and dignified Scotland.<br />
 <br />
“The first year has been a success – bringing over 700 jobs to my constituency in Dundee, and delivering face to face support to those who need it.<br />
 <br />
“Let’s not forget the words of the UN’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights who said that UK Government compassion for those who are suffering has been replaced by a punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous approach to welfare.<br />
 <br />
“And to that end, I echo Social Security Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville when she calls for all social security to be devolved to Scotland to create a system with the people of Scotland for the people of Scotland.’’   <br />
 <br />
“The UN letter declares that the poverty is a political choice. Let’s choose to end poverty.”<br />
