SNP ministers have been warned they must rethink plans to create a National Care Service. Trade unions and councils claim the blueprint published earlier this year by Health Secretary Humza Yousaf is "unnecessary" and will disrupt existing services.
The National Care Service (NCS) has previously been branded a "powergrab", which will see the Scottish Government take control of 75,000 staff currently employed by local authorities.
Unison and Unite have now joined with Cosla to warn the shake-up of care services would have a serious impact on the future of local democracy and the viability of local government.
