Today, I present a budget for Scottish families. A budget for a stronger NHS. And a budget for investment in Scotland’s infrastructure.
As a result of the decisions I am announcing today, some of the pressure on families and family budgets will ease.
There will be more operations and appointments in our health service, and it will be easier to access a GP.
College funding will grow, giving our young people more opportunities to learn and flourish.
Life will be a little easier for parents, with more wraparound childcare.
And more young Scots will be able to find a home that they love, and can afford, helping them build a more secure future right here in Scotland.
