Sector boss warns Scottish care service would ‘collapse within decade’ under current plans

Dr Donald Macaskill said the National Care Service bill ‘will struggle to establish itself’

SCOTLAND’S National Care Service will “collapse within the decade” if the Scottish Government’s plans are pushed through without change, the chief executive of Scottish Care has said.

Dr Donald Macaskill told the Sunday National that there was an opportunity to do “something radical and different” through the establishing of a National Care Service (NCS), but warned: “This is not it.”
