| Comment | It should be noted that the cuts from the Scottish Government to council budgets have been proportionally higher than those to the Scottish block grant. [Per COSLA (PDF link)](https://www.cosla.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/fairfundingforessentialservices2019-20v2_1.pdf):
>In the last 5 years, the Scottish budget has reduced in real terms by 0.4%. Local Government
budgets have reduced 10 times that much by 4%. |
