That would be very useful; thank you.

It could perhaps be described as siloed. Thank you; that was interesting.

On the back of that piece of work, will the Scottish Government commit to expanding the equalities statement that sits alongside the publication of the budget, so that there is a better understanding of how the money leads to the outcome?

With regard to the Scottish budget, the Fraser of Allander Institute said that there is

“little evidence of robust analysis of how budget decisions will enable human rights to be realised.”

What research and analysis has the Scottish Government conducted on how the budget will enable human rights to be realised?

May I come back to Angela O’Hagan before we bring them in?

Thank you.

I wanted some clarification, Angela. You said that you have no budget. What did you mean?

Meeting date: 24 January 2023

Rachael Hamilton

Could I just come in on that point? The point that you made was about the budget. Are you hoping that the intersectional data that you are talking about will include the financial link between a budget and an outcome?

Thank you for your answer—

I want to go right back to a couple of answers from Clare Gallagher. How could the Scottish Government achieve a better understanding of the links between things and the evidence that suggests that a cut in Scottish Government funding to third sector organisations impacts outcomes, such as the example that you gave, which was the gender pay gap?

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Budget 2023-24

Meeting date: 11 January 2023

Rachael Hamilton

I appreciate the difficulties that the Government might have in targeting support, but what assessment has been made of the need for specific support to those who are finding it difficult to access funds? How will the Government achieve what it wants to achieve if it cannot give targeted support to the very different types of farmers across Scotland? How will your goals be achieved if you do not allocate money to them?
