Scottish Ministers are considering slashing spending on the troubled National Care Service in a bid to free up money for the Budget
.
Holyrood’s Finance Committee recently raised “significant concerns” about the finances behind the massive overhaul. The bulk is for the staffing associated with the NCS, with a smaller portion allocated for new care boards. Tory MSP Craig Hoy said: “Spending on this massive SNP vanity project shouldn’t just be delayed - it should be scrapped altogether.
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “Ministers are committed to ending the postcode lottery in care provision in Scotland through the delivery of the National Care Service. The Deputy First Minister will set out the 2023-24 Budget to the Scottish Parliament on 15 December.”
