Progress Report 2022

On 16 November I published my first independent assessment of progress in the delivery of recommendations made to Scottish Ministers which aim to make things better for Scotland’s 250,000 veterans and their families.

This is the fourth year the progress assessment has been published and my assessment shows considerable progress, despite my fears that the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic would result in a slowing pace of delivery. There does however remain some stubborn challenges in putting some SVC recommendations into practice – which I intend to take a close look at in the next 6 months – and my concern that the cost-of-living crisis may derail or slow the pace of delivery of some priorities.
