The media of the Palestinian AuthorityA new report warned that the Scottish government will face an increase in financing pressure on health care with the passage of ages in the country.
A study by the Scottish Finance Committee More effort is found to help people stay healthy as they get older, or that other spending levels can become unnecessary in the future.
The evaluation warned that there will be “great challenges” in the financing that has been transferred to public services, especially over the next 25 years, due to the spending of financing by 1.2 % annually – or one billion pounds in 2024-25 prices.
It is also expected that the population of Scotland will grow, which reflects a pre -prediction of the committee that the numbers will decrease after 2030.
Health is the largest field of spending in the Scottish budget and grows faster than any other field, meaning that spending on health and social care constitute about 40 percent of public spending transferred in 2029-30, by 2074-75, will have jumped to less than 55 %.
SFC, the official economic predictor, found that with high health spending with age, the elderly population will lead to more health spending in the future – unless the expected life is also improved – which means that there will be “upward pressure” on the budgets.
The expected age (Hle) is the number of years in which a person can expect to live in full health, without being hindered by disrupting diseases or injuries.
The improvement in Hle also reduces the gap by 1.2 % between spending and financing, but if the general health of the population increases bad victory, then the gap will grow.
The SFC report presented two scenarios for the future, one of which depends on positive improvements on the health of the nation and the other negative.
The study stipulates that “many indicators indicate a decrease in the health of the Scottish population,” noting that the average life expected in Scotland after its stagnation since about 2012 is a general decrease in the average life expected since 2018 and High mental illness.
The country faces “great health inequality” due to factors such as the site or social and economic position, and it is “broader in Scotland than England.”
Increase the Scottish population
David Phillips, head of the local local government financing At the Institute of Financial Studies Children’s research, families are likely to face a choice between higher taxes or an investment of a lower country in public services.
Mr. Phillips said this comparison will remain a problem even if Scotland is independent at some point in the time frame of the study.
He added: “Improving health and performing the health care system is vital for Scotland’s money. However, unfortunately, significant improvements in health will not be sufficient to avoid difficult decisions on taxes and spending.”
The total population in Scotland is expected to rise due to an increase in the number of immigration at a rate of “higher than expected”.
SFS expects this to continue, which increases the population even about 2050, when they expect its stability.
During that time, the average population is expected to rise from 43 in 2029-30 to 49 in 2074-1074, although deaths that are expected to exceed the number of births throughout the country.
