National Care Service (Scotland) Bill

The Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, and other Committees in the Scottish Parliament, are looking into the National Care Service Bill.

The Scottish Government describes the purpose of the Bill as being to improve the quality and consistency of social work and social care services in Scotland.
