SNP demands inflation-busting expenditure increases in Jeremy Hunt's Budget
Summary by NewsWall Apr 19 23
- THE SNP has challenged the Conservative administration to deliver an inflation-busting rise in NHS and school expenditure to avert a winter crisis.
- With fixed devolved budgets facing real-term cuts from Westminster, the Scottish and Welsh governments have led demands for the UK Government to provide the additional funding needed to avoid strike action and maintain frontline services.
- The SNP's Westminster leader, Ian Blackford MP, said ahead of the UK Budget: "The Tory government has imposed real terms cuts to devolved budgets at the worst possible time – when public services are already under pressure from the impact of Brexit , Covid-19 and rising costs."
