The Scottish Government’s flagship social care reform should not go forward in its current form, a Holyrood committee has said.
The National Care Service (NCS) would bring adult social care – and potentially other areas such as children’s and drug and alcohol services – under one national body set up in a similar way to the NHS.
Concerns have been raised by opposition parties, trade unions and other groups about what they say is a lack of clarity on the face of the legislation which instead will rely on a “co-design” process to create the NCS after the legislation has passed.
