The scope of a consultation on the future of four Edinburgh care homes could be reduced to "when and how" to close them with no focus on what they would be replaced with, a councillor has warned.
Independent councillor Ross McKenzie also claimed he was aware of proposals to shut one of them down before the consultation is launched.
The claims come despite a promise that there would be engagement with the public on the future of care homes and the support available for elderly and frail people in the city more widely.
