Nicola Sturgeon urged to scrap plans for National Care Service over cost warnings

Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to scrap plans to create a National Care Service amid uncertainty over how much it will cost.
Alex Cole-Hamilton claimed that centralising care services - which are currently overseen by local authorities - would create a "billion pound bureaucracy" at a time public spending was already being cut.

Former SNP health secretary Alex Neil earlier this month branded plans for a National Care Service as "nonsensical".
Cole-Hamilton said: "Council leaders, legal experts, former health secretaries, trade unions, leading economists, SNP backbenchers, human rights watchdogs, health board bosses – that’s just small selection of those who have spoken out against this government’s plans for social care over the past few weeks.

"Nicola Sturgeon must order her ministers to stop work on these plans and send the money to where it is needed the most. Scottish Liberal Democrats are determined to fight for patients and staff to come first, not Scottish Government ministers."
COSLA, which represents councils, previously warned they could make some local authorities unsustainable given the potential number of staff that would transferred to Scottish Government control.
