For members’ information, two papers by the Adviser to the Finance Committee havebeen circulated for this meeting—

• An Overview of the Draft Budget 2004-05

• Draft Guidance to Subject Committees

Finance CommitteeAn Overview of the Draft Budget 2004-05

Paper by the Budget Adviser

Introduction1. The Draft Budget for 2004-05 has a number of stylistic changes which bring a

tighter focus to the presentation of information, and greater consistencyacross departments than the 2003-04 report.

2. The five functional priorities – health, education, crime, transport and jobs –receive little attention. The Draft Budget refers to BABS as “setting out thepriorities for each budget area”, and emphasising “the Executive’scommitment to cross-cutting issues such as closing the opportunity gap,sustainable development, and equality”. This appears to infer that the‘peoples priorities’ refer to their own programme objectives and priorities,rather than being political priorities for resource allocation. The FinanceCommittee last year took the view that the Executive had too many prioritiesto be meaningful as a guide to budget decisions.

3. There are sections in each portfolio on opportunity, sustainability andequality. However, the first two tend to be discussed in the form ofstatements of policy and practice, rather than as specific items with costswhich contribute directly to these broad priorities. Equality, by contrast,provides a more useful model in that it highlights specific funding decisionswhich target equality groups.

4. The Draft Budget also reports a change in the cost of capital charges underRAB, from 6% to 3.5%. This may make sense in terms of accounting theory,but it further disrupts the time series of spending data – making four differentprice bases in use since 1999 – which makes monitoring performance andpriorities problematic.

5. EYF funding is presented separately, to assist comparisons with 2003-04.This is consistent with a previous agreement between the Minister and theCommittee. Moreover, transparency is further enhanced by the absence ofcumulative accounting from the document.

6. The description of the methodology for accounting for changes over theSpending Review period is consistent with the commitment made by theDeputy Minister last year over this issue – to set these out clearly in resourceterms. Moreover, the proposals for using new resources are set out in adiscrete section as the Committee requested. The chapter framework is:

-objectives and targets

- spending plans 2003-06- what the budget does- portfolio priorities- new resources- closing the opportunity gap- sustainable development- equality- level 2 programmes- performance

Budget Trends and Priorities7. The Draft Budget reports a change to the provision under Resource

Accounting and Budgeting to the cost of capital charges, thereby reducingbudget provision for this in contrast with last year’s Draft Budget – but as italso states – this change does not effect the Executive’s actual cashexpenditure on its programmes. However, it can effect changes indepartmental shares of the Budget at the margins, and makes strictcomparisons with last year’s documents impossible. I have, therefore, simplycalculated the increases using 2003-04 as the baseline year. The ScottishBudget will grow by 12.3% over two years, and as the Executive is assuminginflation of 2.5% pa, this confirms the trend in real terms identified last year.

8. In terms of budget portfolios, the major programme increases are ineducation and young people, tourism, culture and sport, health andcommunity care, and transport – all receiving above average increases –whilst justice, communities, enterprise and lifelong learning; and finance andpublic services all receive below average increases. This seems somewhatinconsistent with the stated priorities (Table One).

9. Comparisons are complicated by the block allocation system for localgovernment. In Table Two, I set out the spending provision for the majorservices by local government, and this provides average increases foreducation and police, and below average for roads. Once the roads GAE isadded to the transport budget, then the increase falls to 11%, just belowaverage. The low increase for communities also seems inconsistent withmaking closing the opportunity gap a spending priority.

10. Finally, the low increase for enterprise and lifelong learning – which mainlyfunds tertiary education, training, and economic development – seemsinconsistent with the renewed emphasis on economic growth – even thoughthe Minister states that the spending plans will help create the conditions forimproved economic growth. In the light of our Dunkeld discussions, I haveexamined the balance of capital to operating expenditure. These figuresshow an increase over last year’s Draft Budget, which will grow from£1580millions to £1645 millions by 2005-06, or 4.1%. Last year, the growthover the Spending Review period was in line with the overall rate of

budgetary growth, but the lower rate of growth in this budget may reflect theadditional funding provided for 2003-04 or £143millions over SR2002 plans.Members should also note that payments under PPP are broadly stable overthe period, an issue which concerned the Committee in the first term.

11. The report also announces additional funding of £328millions, fromaccounting changes to the arrangements for council housing transfers and anoverprovision for appeals in Non-Domestic Rate Income (NDRI). Thesesums will be spread over three years. The full announcement over EYF willexplain this further, and be dealt with at that time.

Issues for discussion by Members

- the need for clarification over Executive priorities, and possible ranking;

- the low increases for Justice, ELL and Communities budgets;

- the balance of capital to revenue spending;

- the problem of linking objectives and targets with budgets;

- the handling of crosscutting issues;

- the ‘new resources’ allocations;

- the practice of highlighting staffing changes from an equalities perspective in the administration portfolio.

- any other strategic issues.

Finance Committee2004-05 Budget Process – Draft Budget

Guidance to Subject CommitteesPaper by the Budget Adviser

1. The budget process this year has been truncated because of the Mayelections. There has been no Annual Expenditure Report, althoughCommittees had some opportunity to discuss strategic priorities prior tothe 2002 Spending Review.

2. This means that no spending recommendations have been made at StageOne for Ministers to consider, and that as this is the midway point betweenSpending Reviews, there is only limited scope for adjusting the budget atthe margins. There is, therefore, no need to ask for spendingrecommendations in the event of additional funding becoming available, aslast year. Rather, the Committees should consider whether the pattern ofexpenditure within its portfolio is acceptable, or whether it wishes torecommend transfers between programme budgets.

3. Thirdly, it appears from messages emerging from the Treasury that nextyear’s Spending Review will bring the first tight settlement sincedevolution. The Finance Committee, therefore, advises the subjectcommittees to be forensic in their questioning of Ministers, with a view toobtaining the best available supplementary evidence on the financial andpolicy assumptions underpinning the draft budget, so that they can beginto develop a systematic and rigorous ranking of their own spendingpriorities for the Spending Review 2004.

4. With these comments in mind, the Finance Committee would welcomeresponses from the subject committees on the undernoted key questions:

a) Is the committee satisfied that any outstanding issues from last yearhave been addressed in the budget proposals (where appropriate)?

b) Is the committee content with the additional funding proposalsmade by the Executive under the Partnership Agreement, or wouldit suggest alternative uses of such funding? (This relates to thenew resources section.)

c) Does the committee wish to recommend a spending priority for useof unallocated EYF funding in its portfolio?

d) Does the committee wish to recommend any specific changes toprogramme budgets within the portfolio. If so, where shouldprogrammes be increased, and where should compensatoryreductions be made?

e) Does the committee feel that the portfolio priorities are appropriate

and are reflected in the budget proposals?

f) Is the committee satisfied with the performance informationcontained in the chapter, and does it feel that the links betweenaims, budgets and targets are properly integrated?

g) Does the committee have any comment on the sections coveringthe cross-cutting issues of closing the opportunity gap; sustainabledevelopment and equality?

h) Further to the above, each chapter contains a new section ofspecific initiatives under equality. Does the Equal OpportunitiesCommittee have a view on the utility of the information in thissection, and does it wish to make any comments orrecommendations regarding specific spending proposals toenhance equality?

____ ____Dear Claire

BUDGET PROCESS 2004-05: JUSTICE CHAPTER

Thanks you for your letter of 24 September.

As promised at the informal briefing last Wednesday, I enclose three additional papers:

• A reconciliation of Justice data between Building a Better Scotland and the Draft Budget2004-05;

• A table showing where EYF was earned in 2002-03 and where we intend to allocate it in2003-04; and

• A table breaking down the Justice budget to level 4 data. I am afraid that we await finalPolice Central Government figures which are still being cleared, but I shall get this to youtomorrow.

I’d be grateful if you would forward a copy of this information to Dr Main.

Yours sincerely

RUTH RITCHIE

Notes:

1. Additional Partnership Agreement funding of £0/4/5m granted for various community justice services and witness services.2. Reduction of £0.2m in each year due to change in rate at which cost of capital charges are calculated from 6% to 3.5% - (small reduction

looks greater given the rounding to £million.3. Although rounded figures do not change, an additional £0.35m added to the legal aid fund for 2005-06 to fulfil undertakings in the

Partnership Agreement (reform of the High Court).4. Partnership Agreement funding added £0.5/0.5/1m to this level 2 (for post Sept. 11th civil contingency work), although a review of

budget priorities entailed a reduction the Risk Management Authority’s baseline of £0/1.5/1m. This was transferred to the SPS baseline, to assist in funding a prisoner escort service.

5. Reduction of £10.7m in each year from the change in the rate of cost of capital charge; plus an additional £0/10/12m from the PartnershipAgreement and budget reprioritisation for the funding of a prisoner escort service.

6. Reduction of £8.1m in each year from the change in the rate of cost of capital charge; plus an additional £0/1/0.15m from the Partnership Agreement for the reform of the High Court.

7. Additional £500,000 in 2005-06 from the Partnership Agreement funding package for High Court Reform; and an additional £6.9/7.08/7.25m transferred from HM Treasury as responsibility for superannuation costs for the Scottish judiciary was transferred to the Executive.

8. Reduction of £0.9m in each year from the change in the rate of cost of capital charge; transfer of certain police elements from central government to police grant (funding for additional officers, DNA testing and National Intelligence Monitoring); transfer of certain police elements from police grant to centrally funded services (including ports units, certain Airwave services and a High Tech unit) – net effectfor Police Central Government is minus £5.98/3.43/5.43m; additional £1m in 2005-06 for CCTV from the Partnership Agreement.

9. See 8 above for inter-police transfers. Additional £0/1/6m from Partnership Agreement package for additional police officer numbers on operational duty.

10. Error in rounding in Building a Better Scotland.

END YEAR FLEXIBILITY 2002-03: JUSTICE PORTFOLIO

Where EYF was generated Amount of EYF£m

JUSTICE EXECUTIVE AGENCIES

Scottish Prison Service – Planned underspend,predominantly in capital, to be carried forward to enableSPS to continue the ongoing upgrade of their estate.

22.9

Scottish Court Service – Mainly generated by genuinecapital slippage from delays in estate improvements. Fullcarry-forward required to enable SCS to proceed withcapital projects in 2003-04.

3.8

Accountant in Bankruptcy – Net underspend of £0.7m.Agency has requested full carry forward to enable them tomeet pressures in 2003-04 arising from a necessary upgradeto their IT system.

0.7

CORE DEPARTMENTAL SPEND

Police – Between the two police categories, centralgovernment expenditure and justice support to localauthorities, there is a net underspend of £8.7m. Theunderspends include slippage on IT initiatives, and slowerthan expected recruitment in the SDEA.

8.7

Fire Central Government – Underspend accrued throughthe cancellation of some training courses and severeslippage in the procurement of additional vehicles andequipment for dealing with major disasters through theModernising Government initiative. This was due todifficulties because of the Fire Dispute.

5.3

Criminal Justice Social Work and Victim Issues –Piloting on new alternatives to custody and communitydisposals have taken longer to get up to speed than firstanticipated (£2.7m). In addition, the main contract forelectronic tagging was less expensive than anticipated(£3.2m). Youth Crime pilots which were planned in theCriminal Justice Bill were dropped from the legislation,hence unused provision of £1m.

7.1

Legal Aid – Although the demand-led fund (see below)overspent significantly, this NDPB’s grant was underspentby £0.34m. The Board wish to carry this forward to enablethem to institute new administration processes.

0.3

Judicial Salaries – Savings of £2.7m arising throughrecruitment difficulties over 2002-03. However, thisdifficulty has now ended and Sheriffs and Judges are now atfull complement.

2.7

Courts Group – Fees for use of part-time Sheriffs andsubsequent training costs were less than originally expected.

0.5

Miscellaneous – Savings on the Criminal Justice JointWorking Fund (£2m), accrued managed EYF (£7m), and theRisk Management Authority (£3m), plus some small de-minimis underspends in civil and criminal law projects.

13.5

TOTAL JUSTICE UNDERSPEND £65.5mThese underspends are partially offset by overspends in thetwo demand led areas within Justice (1) the Legal Aid Fund,which was £10.3m over due to a significant increase in legalaid business, and (2) a £1.8m overspend on CriminalInjuries Compensation. The Home Office revised upwardsthe Executive’s contribution for 2002-03 from 11% to 13%in late February. It was too late in the financial year to vireadditional provision into this level 2 hence the overspend.In addition, the costs of the civil estate (£3.3m) requiredfunding. TOTAL JUSTICE OVERSPEND £15.4m. Total accrued EYF £50m

END YEAR FLEXIBILITY 2002-03: JUSTICE PORTFOLIO

Where EYF will be targeted in 2003-04 and what thiswill deliver

Allocation of EYF£m

JUSTICE EXECUTIVE AGENCIES

Scottish Prison Service – In order to implement theirEstates Strategy, SPS has been deliberately carrying forwardunderspends – this is required to meet contractualobligations for capital works already underway and whichwill carry through into 2003-04. The work involves theongoing upgrading of the prison estate.

22.9

Scottish Court Service - £3.8m slippage in Scottish CourtService capital projects; additional £1m to enable SCS toenhance facilities for victims and witnesses and to carry outother improvements required to the estate to facilitateefficient High Court operation across Scotland (capital costsarising from the High Court Review). SCS also require afurther £1m to cover the legal aid exemption shortfall.

5.8

Accountant in Bankruptcy – This new Agency requirestheir EYF to enable them to cope with a necessary upgradeto their IT system.

0.7

CORE DEPARTMENTAL SPEND

Police – There are several areas within Police which requireadditional funding in 2003-04. Additional funds arerequired for security and counter-terrorist activities (£1.8m);funding to assist in a move towards a centralised forensicservice (£0.5), £1.5m to cover a shortfall in receipts forDisclosure Scotland, £0.9m to address IT project slippageand £0.1m to send senior officers on a Strategic CommandCourse at Bramshill.

4.8

Fire – The Modernising Government initiative deliveredadditional funds to enable the purchase of vehicles andequipment for the Fire Service for dealing with majordisasters. Due to problems experienced during the FireDispute, there was severe slippage in the purchasingprocess. Contracts were signed at the end of March and thecost of the new equipment will fall due in 2003-04. Inaddition, additional funding is required to address slippagein the provision of SFSTS lecture theatre project.

5.4

Legal Aid - £0.34m required to enable SLAB to continuewith new training and research initiatives and deal withslippage in capital projects.

0.3

Miscellaneous – Two areas relating to civil law requiresome additional funding in the current year (1) for civillegal research projects - £0.5m and (2) £0.5m forcommunity legal services.

1.0

Cover for Demand Led programmes – Both demand ledareas in Justice overspent in 2002-03 – the Legal Aid fundby over £10m and Criminal Injuries Compensation bynearly £2m. In both cases, the legislative provision meanthat Ministers have no option but to meet the costs asdemanded. If the 2002-03 demand scenario is repeated inthe current year, it would be prudent to retain EYF cover foradditional costs.
