Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how much the Scottish Government received in Barnett consequential funding from English funding to support stop smoking services in 2025-26.
Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)
At Spending Reviews, devolved governments generally receive Barnett consequentials on changes in overall departmental settlements not on specific policies or programmes. Therefore, the UK Government cannot provide Barnett numbers on specific policy measures funded from within departmental settlements.
The Block Grant Transparency publication from October 2025 shows that the Scottish Government received an additional £930m for 2025/26 as a result of the additional funding for the Department for Health and Social Care.
