    Cutting and reforming county funding

    Savings will be made in central government funding for wellbeing services counties, and the calculation criteria for the funding model will be reformed from 2027 onwards. The reform cuts compensation for the growth in service needs and transition balancing, while ensuring through a temporary balancing model that no county's funding falls below the previous year's level.
