Robison warns cuts will have ‘profound effect’ on services

Ms Robison previously told BBC Scotland News that the devolved nations needed more “fiscal flexibility”, and that Labour’s Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ cuts were having a knock-on effect on the Scottish budget.

However, Scottish Labour’s finance spokesman Michael Marra accused the SNP of “secrecy and spin” regarding the country’s finances.

He said: “It’s time for the SNP to come clean about the financial chaos it has created and tell us the truth about what lies ahead. The SNP has said ‘essential’ jobs would be protected from cuts, but it has failed to say in any way what an ‘essential’ job actually is.

“This incompetence and failure to plan is causing uncertainty for public sector workers and chaos for service leaders, who now need urgent clarity”.

Scottish Conservatives finance spokeswoman Liz Smith stated that the SNP has created a “high tax, low growth environment” that should be reversed, and that any further tax rises would be “devastating”.
