Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 21 June 2023
Date : 21 June 2023
Location : Apex Grassmarket, Edinburgh
Background
The SPA Board approved the revenue and capital budget for 2022/23 on 23 March 2022. The Authority’s core revenue funding increased by £40.5m (3.4%) in 2022/23. The budget also included £6.6m of one-off additional funding to support the in-year impact of COVID – mainly to fund lost income and recovery of the Justice system.
In addition to the above, revenue funding was provided in-year to support the transfer of post mortem toxicology services to the Authority and to support drug driving legislation. When combined with the core revenue funding and additional COVID support, this allowed a balanced revenue budget to be set for financial year 2022/23. Despite setting a balanced budget there has been several significant challenges facing the service that have had financial consequences for the organisation in financial year 2022/23.
