20 Dec 2024To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown of the £80.888 million funding that has been allocated in its draft Budget 2025-26 under the Alcohol and Drugs Policy budget line.
The answer
The funding for Drugs and Alcohol in the 2025-26 draft budget is £80.9m. This includes £60m as part of our commitment to provide £250m in additional funding over 5 years to reduce drug deaths and improve the lives of people who use drugs and alcohol.£19.1m has moved to baselined funding which Alcohol and Drug Partnerships (ADPs) have highlighted as important for sustainability and recruitment and a record total of £112 million funding for ADPs has been maintained for a third year.We are also continuing to fund grassroots organisations through £13 million a year to the Corra Foundation and we’ll continue to invest in residential rehabilitation - with more than £10 million committed to increasing capacity and funded placements.The National Mission annual report finance sections aim to provide greater transparency of National Mission funding, and provide a breakdown of funding.
