Scotland’s new social security headquarters has an occupancy rate of less than 40pc due to staff working from home.Labour MSP Paul O’Kane said: “Scotland’s social security system is in chaos and the cost of living crisis is causing misery for millions of Scotland – so it is more important than ever that every penny of public money is spent well.
“Our social security budget must be spent helping those who need it most, and the SNP must stop running costs spiralling out of control.” Staff moved into a swanky new building, called Agnes Husband House, near Dundee’s waterfront in 2021. Rent in 2022 cost the taxpayer £541,200, rates totalled £148,001, energy costs came to £251,895 while maintenance added another £506,795 to the taxpayer’s bill.We reported earlier this year that Social Security Scotland had taken over half an hour to answer nearly 90,000 calls in a year.Tory MSP Miles Briggs said: “At a time when they’re making swingeing cuts to public services, the SNP have a duty to keep government running costs and expenses to a minimum.
