'Loadsamoney' in West Dunbartonshire

 

So how exactly does a small organisation like a social care partnership in West Dunbartonshire manage to build £6 million in reserves towards the end of a financial year? 

Especially when other groups and sectors in Scotland have been so badly, financially speaking, during the Covid pandemic.

How much more public money has been squirrelled away like this across Scotland?

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
