It is dire - and we have been saying this for a long time. Here’s an AI analysis that I asked for. Councils pay themselves much more than they allow for independent sector providers, per bedroom per day. I guess, because that’s the *actual* cost of care. There’s the problem…

‼️ Media release:
80 Scottish social care leaders sign letter urging @RachelReevesMP to change course on National Insurance.

12 mins well spent on why valuing #socialcarenursing is so important. If I had my time again to choose an area of nursing then I would choose social care nursing all over again! #personcentred #olderpeople #positiveattitudeonageing
