The deputy first minister said areas like health would be protected, and that the government still wanted to avoid compulsory redundancies.
More detail of reforms to services is expected in next month鈥檚 Scottish budget, with Ms Robison suggesting more use of digital technology and the potential for buildings being sold off if more people are working from home.
