Deputy First Minister Shona Robison is expected to make a cuts statement in early September.
Finance Secretary Shona Robison has warned more cuts are on the way in the wake of the reintroduction of peak rail fares.
Scots were given an early taste of the cuts when Ministers axed a pilot scrapping peak rail fares and backed the means-testing of the winter heating payment for older people. In a letter to Kenneth Gibson, convener of Holyrood's Finance Committee, Robison said more cost-cutting is needed in the 2024/25 financial year.
