Plans which unions claim could lead to the privatisation of care homes and large scale privatisation of social care for the elderly in West Lothian have been rubber stamped.
The decision, unopposed by the Integrated Joint Board (IJB), came after families joined dozens of care home staff in a protest outside the Council Chambers at Livingston's Civic Centre, demanding that councillors protect jobs from cuts and low wage privatisation.
The Integrated Joint Board (IJB) oversees those care services run between the council and NHS Lothian.
