Due to changes made to the official Scottish Parliament website at the start of 2011, our parser that used to fetch their web pages and convert them into more structured information has stopped working. We’re afraid we cannot give a timescale as to when we will be able to cover the Scottish Parliament again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Scottish Government Expenditure
Jackie Baillie (Labour) | Question S3W-40467
To ask the Scottish Executive what budget reduction has been applied to Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland for 2011-12.
Nicola Sturgeon (Scottish National Party)
Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS) has up to £35.9m available to it in 2011-12. That is the same figure as the 2010-11 baseline, ie the cost in that year of the corresponding functions in SCSWIS’s three predecessor bodies. The total available includes provision for one-off transitional costs. The amount budgeted for operating costs in 2011-12 is £33.7m.
