A block on calls to debate care home budget cuts at the centre of concerns over a 'care crisis' in West Lothian have sparked accusations that Labour councillors have "sat on their hands" over the cuts.
Independent councillor Stuart Borrowman hit out after a motion he raised with Lib Dem Sally Pattle to debate the care crisis in the county was ruled out by the Provost Cathy Muldoon at a meeting of West Lothian Council.
Another motion - raised by council leader Councillor Lawrence Fitzpatrick- was also ruled out of debate.
