The 28

The 28 are practical priorities for Scotland, covering the areas that most affect daily life — health, safety, education, housing, energy, rural communities, public services and more.

Each one follows the same structure:

Current Reality:

The key facts on how things stand now

What needs to happen:

The practical improvements that would make a real difference

What can be done under current powers:

The levers Scotland already has

Where the limits are:

The genuine constraints

Honest Summary:

A clear assessment without spin

We also apply a simple colour code to each one:

🟢 Green:

Largely achievable under Scotland’s existing powers

🟡Yellow:

Partially achievable, but with significant constraints or challenges

🔴 Red:

Requires major changes to reserved powers or the wider constitutional settlement
