Tory MSP Adam Tomkins wonders why Brexit consequentials are not passing on to Brexit.
Mr Mackay says the health consequential commitment was set out in the SNP's manifesto.
He says work is underway on dealing with the outcome of Brexit - led by Michael Russell - but there is not a specific line of funding for it.
Image source, bbcSNP MSP Tom Arthur says the budget might have to be revisited in the case of a no deal Brexit.
Mr Mackay replies the chancellor set out that his budget was contingent on an orderly Brexit, therefore the Scottish budget is contingent on an orderly Brexit.
"If there's a no deal Brexit that is pretty catastrophic."
There would be an impact on the economy, turbulence and an impact on society.
"We would need to revisit the budget."
It will be the most vulnerable who will be impacted worst by this, he adds.
SNP MSP Emma Harper seeks information on what the budget means for health spending, particularly given the unexpected extra money from the consequentials.
Mr Mackay confirms the intention to pass every penny resulting from health consequentials onto the Scottish health service.
He says the NHS will receive £754m more than inflation in 2019-20 compared to 2016-17.
He breaks the additional spending down as:

SNP MSP Willie Coffey asks if COSLA's president has welcomed the workplace parking levy.
Councillor Leveson has welcomed the process in the budget, Mr Mackay replies.

Scottish Green Party co-convener Patrick Harvie points out the policy is about the necessary behavioural change.
Mr Harvie argues that the question for parliament is if local councils should be forbidden from designing their own system or be given flexibility.
Not surprisingly, given the deal has been done, Mr Mackay agrees.
Tory MSP Adam Tomkins urges the finance secretary to write to the committee before stage 3 about the tax implications of the workplace parking levy.
Mr Mackay highlights it will be the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee taking this forward.
While he agrees to engage with the finance committee on tax implications, he reiterates that work is at an early stage and work is being done on a consultation.
If there is enough progress on the matter before stage 3, Mr Mackay says he will provide the info requested.
Mr Bibby wonders why only NHS workers will be exempt, asking about teachers and firefighters for example.
Should these cases not be looked at before pressing ahead with the amendment on car parking charges, he asks.
Mr Mackay agrees that local authorities should look at these cases for exemptions.
The charge would be to the employer not the individual staff member, he adds.
Labour MSP Neil Bibby asks whether any economic impact assessment has been done on the parking levy.
Such an assessment has not been undertaken, Mr Mackay confirms.
Mr Bibby suggests councils may be forced to use a levy because of the settlement they are receiving.
He wonders if there was an estimate for how much money would be raised through it if councils were to implement it.
The finance secretary highlights that the decision will be for councils so not all of them may choose to use it.

Image source, bbcMr Burnett says the levy in Nottingham was brought in by a Labour government 20 years ago, has only been used once and he is not sure how useful that comparison is.
It is an unworkable proposal brought in to buy off the Greens, he adds.
Mr Mackay says it is true to say that whatever people think of the workplace levy, it is nothing compared to the catastrophe of Brexit.

The budget deal agreed between the Scottish government and Scottish Greens will allow councils to introduce a workplace parking levy (WPL).
This would see employers pay an annual tax to the council for every parking space they provide for employees.
Employers could then choose whether to pass on the cost to their staff.

Tory MSP Alexander Burnett turns discussion to the workplace parking levy.
He asks about maintaining a record of parking places and whether the levy might impact business rates appeals.
Mr Mackay argues this levy is available for councils in England to use.
He adds that discussions on this are at an early stage so he is unable to offer further detail.
Transport Secretary Michael Matheson will be leading on this issue, he confirms.
SNP MSP Angela Constance asks about working with local government to ensure resources are available.
Mr Mackay says direct investment and infrastructure is important, and this is done in partnership with local authorities.
The budget absolutely invests in today's public services and for the future, he argues.
I want to work more closely with local government on economic development the finance secretary adds.
How do decisions in the budget lift people out of poverty asks Ms Constance.
Mr Mackay replies growing the economy drives him as it is the antidote to social exclusion and enhances life chances.
SNP MSP Willie Coffey says the SPICe paper to which James Kelly was referring shows the total funding for local government now increases by 2.8% in real terms (+£298.9 million), when including capital budget.
Mr Mackay agrees that there is a real terms increase to local government.
One of the changes agreed is that local government will move to multi-year funding, Mr Harvie explains.
He insists planning for this must start as soon as summer recess is over, as creating a three-year settlement at "breakneck speed" like has just happened would be an "intolerable" situation.
Mr Mackay says he sees no reason these discussions can't be a part of the local government review.

Scottish Green Party co-convener Patrick Harvie says what we have got to in the process is a situation that in the final hours of the budget debate, local government were still in a "great deal of uncertainty".
Mr Harvie asks what does the Scottish government need to do to make sure the budget process is better managed and does not go down to the wire.
"I actually think there is some validity in that point," replies Mr Mackay.
As a consequence of when the chancellor's budget is, we do have to move at "breakneck speed".
Labour MSP James Kelly says the deal still leaves councils in a position of a "cuts budget".
Council budgets will still be cut by £230m, he insists.
Mr Mackay says this is only the case if certain pots of cash are excluded, such as for childcare.
"I put it to you, cabinet secretary, that you are living in a fantasy," responds Mr Kelly.
The Labour MSP argues that, on the ground, councils are having to shut services.
Asked about the extra £54m being held back, Mr Mackay explains this is for the teacher pay deal and is in the reserves.
Labour MSP Neil Bibby makes a formal request that in future when the finance secretary is informed of Barnett consequentials he tells parliament immediately.
Mr Mackay insists all the information is presented to parliament.
The finance secretary says the change in Barnett consequentials is a tiny part of the budget.
He adds stage 2 of the budget is about £90m extra for the core local government settlement and £4m for health.
