Response

Questions 1 And 2 This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have the information you have requested.

Question 3 The total cost of the COVID Certification scheme is not held by the Scottish Government as delivery –and therefore costs – is split across a number of different organisations. However, I can confirm that where it is possible to separate costs out the Scottish Government has allocated £7,036,854.31 since the start of the Covid Certification scheme which I have broken down below.
