Fixing The National Care Service Bill

Common Weal set out a detailed vision for what a genuinely transformative National Care Service should look like in Caring for All. The Scottish Government’s National Care Service Bill, not only falls a long way short of this but have introduced proposals which will damage our care system even further, including increased ministerial control over most aspects of the planning and delivery of services. Such was the degree of opposition that the Scottish Government was forced to pause the legislative process to reconsider its plans.
