🔎 The latest Audit Scotland report and the The ALLIANCE's response highlight the urgent need for reform in health & social care. With rising costs and shrinking reserves, action is crucial to ensure sustainable, person-centred support. #SocialCare #HealthReform

Last year, we invited our members to share the reasons why they value social care and support. ✏️ Every Friday, we share one of their messages. This week’s is simple but true: “People matter!”

🗳️ Today, we urge MPs to vote in favour of crucial amendments to the National Insurance Bill to exempt social care organisations from increased employee contributions. ⚠️ Without this exemption, the sector faces severe financial strain, risking services that support thousands.
