Public Service Reform: Empowering Staff, Service Users and Local Communities

As an amendment to motion S7M-00309 in the name of Ivan McKee (Public Service Reform: Empowering Staff, Service Users and Local Communities), leave out from "welcomes" to end and insert “acknowledges that the Scottish National Party administration has failed to deliver on public service reform during its 19 years in power; agrees that the delivery of excellent and sustainable public services should be the goal of public service reform, rather than the preservation of existing corporate structures; notes that, while a long overdue commitment to deliver public service reform is welcome, the Scottish Government’s finances will remain unsustainable until Social Security Scotland’s ever-rising benefits bill is controlled, and calls on the Scottish Government to clearly set out how it plans to close the near £5 billion forecast black-hole in Scotland’s finances.”
