Written question asked by Hugh Gaffney (Labour) on Wednesday, 2 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 7 October 2019. It was answered by Lord Jack of Courance (Conservative) on Tuesday, 8 October 2019 on behalf of the Scotland Office.


Public Sector: Scotland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent assessment his Department has made of public satisfaction with public services in Scotland.

Answer

In a recent Scottish Government Household survey, we see that public satisfaction in health, schools, education and public transport in Scotland has dropped to 51.7%, its lowest level since 2007, which is extremely disappointing. These policy areas are devolved to the Scottish Government and they must do more to improve public services for the people of Scotland.
