public policy in Scotland

Public policy in Scotland refers to the decisions and actions taken by the Scottish Government and Parliament to address issues affecting citizens’ lives. This includes areas such as health care, education, justice, and the economy. The Scottish Government develops policies based on the needs and priorities of the population, often informed by research and public consultation. The devolved nature of Scotland’s government means it has significant powers to create and implement laws independently from the UK Parliament, allowing for tailored responses to local challenges and opportunities.
