Cole-Hamilton: Greens have wasted £30m on care centralisation

Responding to reports that the Scottish Greens will debate dropping support for the Scottish Government’s care centralisation at their forthcoming conference, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

"Scottish Liberal Democrats are the only party to have opposed this billion-pound bureaucratic ministerial takeover of social care from day one.

"I hope the Greens do finally u-turn because this needs stopped before it does any more damage. But the Greens must also apologise for wasting four years and £30m on another hare-brained scheme while the crisis in our care services deepens. It's money that should have been spent on care staff and service users."
