Nicola Sturgeon has promised her Government will do “everything we can” to help vulnerable people cope with the cost-of-living crisis.
In a New Year message, the First Minister said she and her cabinet colleagues would make tackling poverty the priority. She said: “As we look ahead now to 2023, I can promise you that the Scottish Government will keep doing everything we can for those who need it most right now – while also looking to the longer term with optimism and resolve. “We will prioritise resources to tackle poverty – especially child poverty.
We will also do everything we can to support our precious public services, helping the NHS in particular recover from the pandemic and get services back on track.” In his own New Year message, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said families had experienced “considerable anxiety” this year but added “our communities – as always – have come together and done their best to tackle these hardships head-on”. “I am determined that next year can be a better one for all of those struggling – a year filled with empathy, unity and hope,” Mr Sarwar added. “Let’s deliver the change that we want to see.” Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross reflected on the pandemic, saying “people across Scotland will be able to ring in the New Year with their friends and family”.
