Budget

Fiona Douglas and others member of the Forensic Services Senior Management Team have continued to hold meetings with the SPA Chief Executive, the SPA Chair, the Chair of the Forensic Services Committee, members of SPA and others since the Scottish Government finalised and announce its budget in December. While the exact budget details of the Forensic Services 2023-24 budget allocation have yet to be finalised, the funding is above the flat-cash settlement indicated previously.

We are now working through how to implement and deliver our New Operating Model given the changed budgetary position since we the Final Business Case was approved by the Authority in September 2021.
