I’m disgusted at the lack of urgency and care

increase of £37m to the police budget and an additional £6.5m to support community justice to reduce re-offending.

She revealed a 3% pay rise for public sector workers earning up to £80,000.

Ms Forbes said there would be an additional £12.7m for alcohol and drug services which she said was a near 60% increase.

However, Annemarie Ward, of Favor Scotland, campaigning for more recovery beds, said it was “woeful” and called on Public Health Minister Joe Fitzpatrick to resign.

On the Budget, she said: “In 283 pages this is it for the addiction and drug death crisis.

“The highest deaths in the world and this is the attention and the Budget response.

“I’m disgusted at urgency and care.”

Anti-poverty campaigners said there was not enough to tackle child poverty.

John Dickie, director of the Child Poverty Action Group, welcomed the £3.5m increase to the Scottish Welfare Fund and the introduction of the Scottish Child Payment.

However, he said: “This Budget so far represents a missed opportunity to go further and demonstrate that budget decisions across the board, the lack of including on housing, transport, tax and employment, are being driven by the Government’s own statutory child poverty targets.”

The Scottish Government said local authorities will receive total funding of £11.3bn in 2020-21.

It stated the settlement provides councils with an increase in day to day revenue spending of £494 million, fully funds all Scottish Government commitments and provides an additional £100m for social care, including a contribution of £25m to ensure all care staff are paid the living wage.”

Glasgow City Council will receive £1.322bn.

Cosla however, said the Budget looks much better than the reality behind the figures.

Gail Macgregor, COSLA’s resources spokeswoman said: “On the face of it this looks like a good Budget for Local Government with a cash increase of £495m and whilst we acknowledge this money, the reality behind this figure unfortunately is quite different.

“What we are left with when you factor in the Scottish Government commitments of £590m – is a cut to Local Government core budgets of £95m.

“This is £95m in hard cash that will need to be taken out of front line services.”
