Whether the Programme for Government 2026-27 will be closely aligned or mapped to the revised National Performance Framework.

In the Programme for Government, the First Minister states that his priorities and ambitions will help build a Scotland that is fair, healthy, prosperous, secure, skilled, sustainable, and connected. The Scottish Government’s five-year (corporate) plan explains that we will continue to improve how we track progress towards the National Outcomes by establishing a new system in 2026. I have written to committees this week regarding the proposed National Outcomes. We intend to launch the reformed National Performance Framework, including the National Indicators, later this year and will keep Parliament informed of progress.
