‘Bloated' civil service in Scotland hits record size as SNP ministers told to act
Figures highlighted by Scottish Labour have shown the overall growth in the public sector workforce north of the Border. Sign up to our Politics newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

SNP ministers have been told they must deal with the 'bloated' size of the devolved civil service after the number of workers hit a record high. Figures for the first quarter of this year have revealed civil servants working in Scotland's public sector reached 27,400 full-time equivalent (FTE) roles – the highest at any point under devolution. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It means about one in every 200 people living in Scotland were working for the Scottish Government in the first three months of this year. First Minister John Swinney addressing the Scotland 2050 conference in Edinburgh. The number employed by 'other public bodies', often referred to as quangos, also rose by another 200 positions to stand at 21,500 FTE. The figures were highlighted by Scottish Labour, which pointed out staff numbers in the NHS workforce had fallen by 200 over the same period to 161,300 FTE. Anas Sarwar's party subsequently accused the SNP Government of being 'desperately out of touch' and of 'putting self-interest over Scotland's interests'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The public sector employment data goes back to the early devolution era in 1999, when 14,100 civil servants were recorded. A total of 15,800 FTE civil servants worked in the public sector in the first quarter of 2007. The workforce growth has emerged just days after First Minister John Swinney raised the prospect of workforce cutbacks during a keynote speech about national renewal in Glasgow on Monday. Mr Swinney said his Government was committed to avoiding compulsory redundancies as he claimed Scotland's public sector would have to shrink. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Public Finance Minister Ivan McKee earlier this week said the Government would aim to make savings of £1 billion over five years through public sector reform, cutting 'back office costs' to redirect money to the frontline. He said the number of public bodies would be reduced to drive a more efficient system alongside a new review of public sector buildings. Under a different measurement, of the Scottish Government's directly employed staff, numbers have remained between 8,000 and 9,000 FTE since 2021. Scottish Labour Finance spokesperson Michael Marra said: 'Frontline services are stretched to breaking point and NHS staff numbers are falling amid a deadly crisis – but the SNP is sparing no expense on its own bloated operation. 'Once again, the SNP is putting self-interest over Scotland's interests. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'This SNP Government is desperately out of touch with the priorities of the people of Scotland. 'A Scottish Labour government will prioritise frontline services over government bureaucracy and pointless quangos.' The Scottish Government said care should be taken when interpreting quarterly changes in workforce sizes, and stressed the Scottish Government's 'core workforce' had come down by 5 per cent since 2022. A spokesman said: 'It is common for there to be seasonal variation in staffing levels in public services, for example as newly qualified nurses enter the workforce each year following graduation. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Public sector workers have a vital role in the funding, development and delivery of key services ranging from education, health and social care, to transport and safeguarding the natural environment – also providing impartial expert advice to the public, parliament, and ministers. 'They have responded to many significant issues in recent times, such as the pandemic, impacts of the war in Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis, while taking on more devolved responsibilities in areas such as social security, equal opportunities, consumer advocacy and advice, and expanded tax powers.' Union leaders have warned against any plans for widespread job cuts across the public sector. Unison Scottish secretary Lilian Macer this week described any cuts as a 'political choice' rather than a financial necessity, pointing out Holyrood's budget would increase by £2.9 billion a year on average in the wake of Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spending Review.

Hibs bank £1MILLION on flop striker who scored just five league goals in Scotland over two year period
He started last season brightly before being sent on loan IN THE MONEY Hibs bank £1MILLION on flop striker who scored just five league goals in Scotland over two year period Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HIBS have banked £1 million by offloading flop striker Dylan Vente to SC Heerenveen. The Easter Road club have made a healthy profit on the 26-year-old, bought from Roda JC for £600,000 in 2023. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Hibernian have sold Dylan Vente to Dutch side Heerenveen Credit: Willie Vass 2 They're in profit after he impressed on loan at PEC Zwolle Credit: Getty Vente failed to spark in Scottish football, scoring eleven times but not succeeding to make any continuous impact. But he hit form last season during a loan in the Eredivisie, bagging 17 goals in 37 games for PEC Zwolle so has now won a permanent move back to Holland. Boss David Gray said: 'I'd like to start by wishing Dylan all the best for the future. 'He was a player that I enjoyed working with on the training pitch and someone that had a real desire to do well. 'He performed well in the Eredivisie with PEC Zwolle last season and felt more comfortable back in his homeland, playing football with a smile on his face. 'His time at Hibs didn't quite work out the way we'd all planned, but I'd like to thank him for all his hard work and hope he goes on to achieve his ambitions and full potential.' Hibs held out for a tidy sum for Vente, with several clubs interested in securing him after his form back home. Director of Football Malky Mackay said: 'There was a lot of interest in Dylan this summer after his performances last season, and he had a clear desire to continue playing and enjoying his football in the Eredivisie. 'We had to make sure that we got the right deal for Hibernian FC, and after a number of conversations, we're happy with the deal we've got for him. 'We wish him nothing but the best going forward.' Hibs chief Malky Mackay on his Celtic team-mate who could've been as good as Henrik Larsson Vente featured regularly during his first year at Easter Road but rarely played a full 90. He scored against Luzern in European competition and netted a further seven in all competitions in 2023-24. He flew out the gates last season with a hattrick in the first League Cup Group Stage match against Elgin City, but those were the last goals he would score for Hibernian. For the commencement of the league he was handed his homeland loan move, where he shone and ultimately laid the foundations for his permanent move away.
