Scottish Greens withdraw support for National Care Service Bill, jeopardizing its passage.
The Scottish Greens have withdrawn support for the National Care Service Bill, jeopardizing its passage. Introduced in 2020, the bill aims to create a national body for care services but has faced significant opposition from trade unions and other political parties. Critics argue it is costly and ineffective, suggesting funds should go to local services instead. The Scottish Government maintains the bill is essential for improving care quality, but without Green support, its future is uncertain.
