To ask the Scottish Executive what its response is to the proposed reduction or removal of funding to Who Cares? Scotland by Scottish Borders Council.
Answer
I hope that it will be possible for Borders Council to resolve its budget difficulties without reducing funding to voluntary bodies carrying out important work. However, it is entirely a matter for each local authority to establish its expenditure priorities within the budget available to it. It would not be appropriate for ministers to intervene in the individual spending decisions of a council.
