A campaign to stop the privatisation of social care services in West Lothian was launched this week in at a gathering that attracted 300 angry locals.
The move comes as it was revealed that the West Lothian Integrated Joint Board is considering privatising four care homes for the elderly, outsourcing services at two homes for adults with a learning disability and outsourcing almost all care at home services.
A public meeting was held on Tuesday against the proposals, which could see the closure of Limecroft and Craigmair in Livingston, Whitdale in Whitburn and Burngrange in West Calder.
