Today we submitted our response to the Scottish Government’s call for views on the latest proposals regarding Scotland’s National Performance Framework.
In a letter to the Convenor of the Finance and Public Administration Committee on the 16th February before the dissolution of parliament, Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes shared a new draft model for the National Performance Framework (NPF). In this letter, she also shared plans for engagement on the proposals and invited feedback from organisations across the public, third, and private sectors.
In our response, we share our reservations regarding the apparent change in direction since previous engagement in 2024. We also share our thoughts regarding the proposed National Outcomes, and the yet to be determined National Indicators, including learning from the model adopted in Wales. Finally, we express the need for the NPF to be more explicitly embedded in all levels of decision-making, budgeting, and scrutiny.
If you have any questions about our response, please contact our Policy and Public Affairs Lead, Sarah Latto.
