Scottish Executive

The Scottish Executive is the devolved government for Scotland, including health, education, justice, rural affairs, and transport.

The executive was established in 1999, following the first elections to the Scottish Parliament. It is a coalition between the Scottish Labour party and the Scottish Liberal Democrat Party.

The executive is led by a First Minister who is nominated by the parliament and in turn appoints the other Scottish Ministers who make up the Cabinet.

Executive civil servants are accountable to Scottish Ministers, who are themselves accountable to the Scottish Parliament.
