The SNP are yet again letting down the people of Scotland. They have actually been branded as worse than the Tories, whom they love to attack, when it comes to the care of the elderly.
The Westminster government is putting in place a cap on the amount that someone will have to pay for care under the new National Care Service Plan, whereas the SNP are putting forward a bill for the Scottish national care service that will set no ceiling and leave pensioners who are in need of care in a terrible financial situation. Someone who owns a house and is suffering from dementia would be 99.9% certain to have to sell their house and use all the proceeds towards care, according to analysts.
Our ageing population deserve to be treated better and not be left destitute or under pressure when they need care after working all their lives.
Yet again the SNP is failing the most vulnerable in our nation
