Abstract

Twenty years on from the creation of Audit Scotland, outgoing Auditor General Caroline Gardner reflects on what she has learned during her time in the role. She lays out the challenges that remain for the NHS in a time of pandemic; the realities of managing the fiscal framework to protect public services from the financial effects of Covid-19; and how the government’s planning needs to match its vision for Scotland’s future.
