Share of net revenue expenditure, Scottish Government provisional outturn and budget estimates, 2026-27.

Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have been national bodies since 2013 and public health sits with the NHS boards, so none of the three appears here. Social work is a single figure, most of which is a payment to the local integration joint board rather than services the council runs directly.
