The SNP want to create a centralised ‘National Care Service’ but centralisation can be costly – and result in cuts to local services. The SNP’s plans risk wasting money on an extra level of bureaucracy, without delivering improvements for care workers or patients.
Instead, our ‘Local Care Service’ would empower local communities and guarantee that everyone can receive care close to home. No one should be forced to access care miles away from their community, family and support networks, but this ‘out of area’ care could become more common under the SNP’s plans.
The Scottish Conservatives want to ensure social care funding is spent directly on delivering quality care – not on civil servants. By putting UK health consequentials back into local services, we want to make sure that money is spent directly on care and doesn’t end up going toward administration, office workers and civil servants.
