Across Scotland the party has secured:
- An extra £120million for mental health services to pay for new services in communities.
- An extra £60million to help education bounce back with smaller class sizes.
- Additional support for businesses and the release of money for local authorities.
- Fair funding for the internal ferries in Orkney and Shetland.
- An extra £20million to provide more in-class support to children who need it by topping up the Pupil Equity Fund. This is money paid directly to headteachers to provide additional support to pupils from less well-off backgrounds. This represents a rough 16% increase on the current year.
- £15million in special allocations to the North East to pay for skills training, upskilling and business support in a region particularly under pressure given its reliance on fossil fuel industries.
- The addition of compensation for the council tax freeze into the baseline of local government funding, worth around £90million, which will remove the risk that councils would face a cliff edge on funding next year.
- £5million more for agriculture transition funding, which rewards farmers for environmental stewardship and helps our climate change priorities.
- A clear commitment that specialised eye services in Lothian will be protected.
