An open letter from the Disabled People’s Movement! The National Care Service: If not now, when?

The signatories to this letter are leaders within the Disabled People’s Movement in Scotland (the Movement). We are disabled people, and we represent disabled people across Scotland. We know the stark reality of disabled people’s lives and the urgent issues that must be addressed - not least social care.
We are truly shocked to hear reports that the National Care Service will be delayed or scrapped altogether. This cannot be allowed to happen when wholesale reform is so urgently needed.
