Rennie responds to Audit Scotland report

Responding to an Audit Scotland report which states that the Scottish Government is making “short-term savings” which fail to address “the public sector’s unsustainable finances”, Scottish Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie MSP said:

“When it comes to the public finances, it often feels like SNP ministers are playing a constant game of Whac-A-Mole. There’s no strategy and no plan.

“Ministers have made a series of expensive blunders, from the ferries scandal to selling off the seabed on the cheap. We’re now seeing ballooning costs for the government’s new HR and Finance system.

“Scotland deserves a government that knows what it’s doing- that can invest in our public services and grow our economy for generations to come.”
