National Care Service for Scotland will 'end postcode lottery'
The creation of a National Care Service for Scotland (NCS) will end the "postcode lottery" in the sector, Health Secretary Humza Yousaf has said.
Making money from ดาวน์โหลด SLOTXO is not as difficult as kicking. You just have to have patience to observe the game and pay attention to the gameplay. Not too emotional at play.
He said new legislation would make ministers accountable for adult social care in Scotland.
Mr Yousaf described the move as the most significant since the creation of the NHS.
It follows an independent review into the future of adult social care triggered by the pandemic.
The service, which will be launched by the end of the parliamentary term in 2026, could cost up to £0.5bn to deliver.
Own homes
The new bill proposes setting up a series of care boards that operate in the same way as health boards, with Scottish ministers directly responsible.
It means local authorities would no longer run social care services.
Scottish Labour have accused the government of "the biggest power grab in the history of Holyrood" and said it would undermine local government.
And while some charities have welcomed the legislation, they say social care faces a crisis now.
The new service will aim to support people in their own homes or among family, friends and community wherever possible.
It will create a charter of rights and responsibilities for social care, with a robust complaints and redress process.
