 In August 2009 the CPPR published [http://www.cppr.ac.uk/media/media_128833_en.pdf THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT’S BUDGET GROWTH PROSPECTS AND BUDGET OPTIONS].  Commissioned by [[Solace]] and [[CIPFA Directors of Finance]] it was written by [[Jo Armstrong]] and [[John Mclaren]]. In it they effectively considered potential 'unprecedented changes in policy thinking and funding arrangements'. Or, put another way, what cuts and savings the Scottish Government may consider administering in order to redress the funding shortfall they face.
 The August 2009 report specifies two areas for savings. In Education they argue spending efficiencies could be made. They also target savings from Scottish Water. Stating how the Scottish Government will loan [[Scottish Water]] 'around £545 million for the 3 years 2008-09 to 2010-11'. They continue, 'The Scottish Government receives no Barnett funding from an equivalent budget line in England for this, as water services are delivered outside the public sector in England and Wales. Removing Scottish Ministers as Scottish Water’s owner would allow it to have access to private sector funding and in doing so free up scarce public funding for use
 elsewhere' <ref> [http://www.cppr.ac.uk/media/media_128833_en.pdf THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT’S BUDGET GROWTH PROSPECTS AND BUDGET OPTIONS] (August 2009) (p9) </ref>.
