Scottish NHS performanceInstitute for Fiscal Studies

Healthcare is the Scottish Government’s largest area of spending.
Decisions about health spending are crucial for the upcoming Scottish Budget.
The NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care budget is planned to be 20.6 billion this year .
Health services in both Scotland and England were similarly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Scotland , almost all measures of NHS performance have worsened over the last year .
NHS staffing in Scotland is much higher than pre-pandemic, but this is not the case in England .
This is despite the fact that hospital activity in England has been reduced by industrial action, which has not occurred in Scotland .
A smaller share of patients are waiting more than four hours at A&E and a larger share of cancer patients are receiving diagnostic tests within six weeks .
This therefore suggests that hospital performance is still worsening in Scotland , while it is improving in England .
Many types of hospital activity in England are now higher than pre-pandemic, though still far from recovery targets.
