Using the Upcoming Scottish Budget to Support Economic Growth

As an amendment to motion S6M-15061 in the name of Craig Hoy (Using the Upcoming Scottish Budget to Support Economic Growth), leave out from "the Scottish Ministers" to end and insert "while taxpayers in Scotland are paying more than their counterparts in the rest of the UK, almost one in six people in Scotland are on NHS waiting lists, the latest PISA statistics show that Scotland’s education system is falling further behind other countries, and local government services are under severe financial pressure; believes that people are not seeing the necessary improvements to their public services; regrets that the incompetence of the Scottish National Party administration has led to chaos in the public finances, with emergency in-year budgets for three consecutive years, and calls on the Scottish Government to end 17 years of waste and incompetence in the management of Scotland’s finances."
