We’re reducing the cost of the school day, with free breakfast clubs in every primary school by August 2027, and a funded trial of after-school activities.
And as part of our Summer of Sport, we will offer free sport activities including swimming lessons for every primary pupil.

Because of this Budget, NHS waiting times will keep falling and GP numbers will keep rising.
We're delivering record funding for our NHS, which includes funding for the launch of walk-in GP clinics - helping you get the care you need, where you need it.

Budgets are about choices, and we choose fairness.
We’re asking the very wealthiest to pay a bit more through developing a new mansion tax and a Scottish private jet tax - while ensuring more Scots pay less income tax, and expanding cost of living support.
