Scottish Public Finance Minister Ivan McKee has welcomed a report detailing spending by Scotland\u2019s public bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the Public Bodies Data Report, Mr McKee said it will provide \u2018crucial clarity\u2019 and inform work to establish how frontline services can continue to be prioritised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr McKee said: \u201cThe Scottish Government has made improving public services a key priority, alongside eradicating child poverty, building prosperity and protecting the planet. We are proud to have more frontline public sector workers than other parts of the UK, and to pay them more, demonstrating the value we place on workforce, skills, quality and fairness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut we also recognise that within our finite budget, and ongoing financial constraints and cost pressures, exacerbated by Brexit and 14 years of austerity, we have a responsibility to ensure that the investment the Scottish Government makes in our public services on behalf of the people of Scotland is used efficiently and sustainably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur commitment to improvement is reflected in a programme of public service reform built on two key elements – ensuring public services remain fiscally sustainable \u2013 and improving outcomes for people and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur reform challenge will be ensuring spending is proportionate to the value the public derives from services. Today\u2019s publication marks a key step towards addressing the challenges we face. But I am hugely encouraged by the commitment already demonstrated to this work by public sector leaders as we work closely to focus on front-line spending and ensure services remain fiscally sustainable through investment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
