1. IntroductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is a commonly diagnosed cancer globally, ranking fourth in prevalence and second in global mortality according to the GLOBOCAN database.

Fraser of Allander: The most surprising decision in the Scottish Budget

Dec 4, 2024 | heraldscotland.com | João Sousa

This was a Budget with an eye on the election, but storing up risks. And crucially, what was left unsaid was just as consequential as what Shona Robison mentioned in her speech. The Scottish Government will be hoping many of the headlines will focus on the measure with most political impact – the promise to mitigate ‘as far as possible’ the impacts of the two-child limit.
Why Scottish Budget is not quite what it seemed, according to top economist

Dec 4, 2024 | scotsman.com | João Sousa

The Scottish Budget’s commitment to ‘mitigate’ the two-child cap was not costed; rates relief for hospitality businesses will only apply to smaller firms; and some ScotWind cash will still be used for day-to-day spendingShona Robison’s Budget speech may have been short, but it was content-heavy. It was a very political statement, with the most eye-catching announcement coming just at the end – to mitigate “as far as possible” the effect of the two-child limit from 2026.
Rachel Reeves has made life easier for John Swinney’s government

Oct 30, 2024 | thetimes.com | João Sousa

Rachel Reeves’ first budget was big in changes. Fiscal rules were relaxed, taxes raised significantly and departmental spending, both day-to-day and capital, increased by even more. For the Scottish government, this has meant an additional £1.5 billion this year, which is likely to make balancing their budget significantly easier. This has come as a result of the Barnett formula, and reflects the increase in spending in 2024-25 in UK government departments.
Business and government relations deteriorate

Oct 25, 2024 | dailybusinessgroup.co.uk | Terry Murden |João Sousa

Relations between business and the Scottish government have worsened with only 6% of Scottish firms believing there is effective engagement, down from 8% last year. The latest Scottish Business Monitor found the highest level of dissatisfaction among construction and finance firms. Those in the professional, scientific, and technical activities sectors were slightly more positive, although overall confidence remains low across the board.
