    NHS waiting lists are likely to be a key issue in the forthcoming general election. The current government has made cutting NHS waiting lists one of its key priorities, while one of the Labour party's five national missions is to "get the NHS back on its feet", including by cutting waiting times. In this IFS pre-election briefing, we outline what has happened to NHS waiting lists (in England, given that health is a devolved responsibility) over the last 17 years - the period for which consistent data are available - and present new scenarios of what could happen to waiting lists over the years to come. We focus on the elective waiting list - the list of people waiting for pre-planned hospital treatment and outpatient appointments. This is what most people mean when they talk about NHS waiting lists, but we also consider a range of other NHS waiting lists and waiting times. Alongside this report, we have updated our interactive online tool that allows you to produce waiting list scenarios under your own assumptions.

    The Scottish Government's Budget for 2024-25 takes place at a time of particular uncertainty about the future funding environment. UK government spending plans both for the coming year and for later years seem likely to be topped up, but when and by how much is unclear. The current UK government wants to announce tax cuts before the upcoming general election, but history tells us that we should not be surprised if taxes were to rise post-election. And the performance of Scotland's devolved tax revenues - in particular given recent and planned tax policy changes - is uncertain. Taken together, these factors make the task of planning Scottish tax and spending decisions particularly challenging - an issue discussed in an IFS comment published alongside this report (Phillips, 2024).

    Health is the largest single area of Scottish Government spending, making up 35% of the Scottish Government's total discretionary budget in 2024-25 and 39% of its non-benefit budget.2 Its share of spending has grown significantly over time, driven by large increases in health spending in the 2000s and cutbacks to other areas of spending in the 2010s. This trend is set to continue with the Scottish Fiscal Commission (SFC) projecting that to keep up with the demands of an ageing, less healthy population, and medical advancements, Scottish health spending would need to grow by around 3% in real terms per year in the late 2020s and 2030s, compared with around 2% for all Scottish Government spending. More urgently, there is clear evidence that the NHS in Scotland, as in the rest of the UK, is struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, despite record levels of spending and staffing. In this chapter of our second Scottish Budget Report, we therefore look at long-run trends in healthcare spending in Scotland and how these compare with trends in England and Wales, before examining recent trends in NHS staffing, activity, productivity and performance in Scotland. We conclude with a discussion about future funding and staffing.

    This chapter of our second annual Budget Report looks at Scottish tax policy and revenue, the overall amount of funding available for Scottish public services, and planned spending on different individual services in the coming financial year, 2024-25. In several important respects, the Scottish Government's 2024-25 Budget represents a continuation of trends seen in recent years. On the tax side, as with the current year, increases to income tax on those on higher incomes are set to raise a modest amount, but much more important have been significant upwards revisions to forecast underlying tax revenues. Combined with (more modest) increases in block grant funding from the UK government, this means that in cash terms, funding for public services in the coming year will be £1.7 billion higher than expected this time last year, and fully £2.6 billion more than expected in the May 2022 Scottish Resource Spending Review. Notwithstanding the recent sharp drop, inflation has still proved higher and more stubborn than expected back in May 2022. This almost fully offsets the boost to cash budgets. In addition, the boosts to spending that have been much highlighted by the Scottish Government again overstate the increase in resources available for public services next year - by ignoring top-ups made to the current year's budgets since the Budget Bill was initially passed.

    This chapter of our second annual Budget Report looks beyond 2024-25 to the medium-term outlook for the Scottish Government's funding, and the implications of the funding picture for the choices and trade-offs faced when allocating funding between areas of the budget. The Scottish Government had said it would confront those choices alongside the 2024-25 Budget by publishing an update to 2022's Resource Spending Review. However, with the Deputy First Minister and Finance Minister, Shona Robison, citing the 'turbulent economic environment', a decision has been taken to postpone this until the next set of economic and fiscal forecasts from the Scottish Fiscal Commission (SFC) and the publication of the next Scottish Government Medium-Term Financial Strategy (MTFS), expected in the late spring or early summer. Our analysis, presented below and based on current forecasts for UK government funding and devolved tax revenues, suggests that 2025-26 will see a substantial real-terms increase in Scottish Government resource funding. However, 2026-27 onwards is currently forecast to see much smaller increases in resource funding - that could easily be more than entirely absorbed by the NHS and other priority areas, necessitating cutbacks to many other services. A planned cashterms freeze to capital funding from the UK government, together with Scotland planning to reduce borrowing used for capital purposes (in an attempt to maintain some headroom against its borrowing limits), is set to see capital funding in Scotland fall significantly in real terms over the second half of the 2020s. More funding than is currently pencilled in might be made available by the UK government for both resource and capital purposes, but risks to net revenues from devolved taxes are likely weighed to the downside. The Scottish Government should not bank on significantly more funding becoming available.

    Medicine is a high-paid and high-status career. It is also a big profession - and expected to grow considerably over coming decades. Understanding differences in access to medical careers by ethnicity, and different career paths within medicine by ethnicity, is therefore an important and interesting part of understanding the labour market experiences of people from different ethnic backgrounds more generally. There is also a growing evidence base (albeit largely from the United States) showing that non-White patients treated by a doctor of the same ethnicity as them experience better health outcomes. For both these reasons, the ethnic diversity of doctors working in the NHS matters. In this report, we use the Electronic Staff Record (ESR), the monthly payroll of all staff directly employed by NHS organisations, to examine the ethnicity mix of doctors working for the NHS in England and highlight differences across types of roles, gender and country of medical training.

    In this report, we examine the career progression of nurses and other staff groups within the NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) pay framework in England over the decade between 2012 and 2021. We document differences in progression across pay bands between staff groups and within groups of nurses to provide important context when considering how - and why - the career progression of nurses needs to be reformed.

    Health spending, and the performance of the NHS, will feature prominently in the upcoming general election campaign. Many different factors matter for NHS performance and for the wider health of the population, but one important factor is the level of spending on health services. In this IFS pre-election briefing, we examine UK government health spending over the past seven decades. We then discuss the outlook for health spending over the years to come.

    This dissertation is the first comparative history of the role economists have played in healthcare and education policy in the United States. It is often assumed that in the realm of social policy, economics has been something of a hegemonic juggernaut led by elite thinkers, but this study demonstrates the unfolding of a more malleable field being steadily remade by lesser-known experts. Drawing on historical developments beginning in the 1950s, the project analyzes the role economics plays as social programs are designed, implemented, and evaluated; and, in turn, how the field is reshaped by this role. It follows the course by which applied methods come to eclipse reverence for economic theory, and research design itself becomes a central object of study for only some at the discipline’s core. Debunking the notion that economics has been engaged in a continuous march toward domination in social policy, it demonstrates that the influence of economics is not necessarily most momentous when conducted prospectively based on theory, but rather in an iterative fashion in which evidence is gathered on the basis of prior policy change, and then used to inform subsequent policy design: policy-based evidence, not evidence-based policy. This work better equips us as a society to rethink the enormously consequential economics of social policy.
