Scotland Performs Update

Foreword

by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Constitution

I am pleased to provide Parliamentary colleagues with performance information to assist in the scrutiny of the Draft Budget.

The Performance Scorecards are drawn from the Scotland Performs website www.scotlandperforms.com. As the reporting tool for the National Performance Framework, Scotland Performs provides a transparent and dynamic assessment of how Scotland is performing as a nation across a diverse range of economic, social and environmental indicators.

The Performance Narratives provide a representative example for each of the 16 National Outcomes, including information on the budget, key achievements and the contribution towards the National Outcome.

I look forward to continuing collaboration with Parliamentary colleagues on the development of the performance information provided to support the Draft Budget consultation period and would welcome any feedback on the Scorecards and Narratives.
