Conservative councillors in East Renfrewshire have claimed the planned National Care Service could be an “absolute disaster.”
Under the plan, a series of care boards would be set up to run social care services rather than local councils, a move which would make Scottish ministers directly responsible.
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) has warned the proposal risks “destabilising” council workforces. It said up to 75,000 staff could be transferred to the new care boards.
