Rebecca Cowan+FollowScotland’s care sector faces breaking pointScotland’s care sector is on the brink, with nearly £440 million spent on hospital beds for patients who could have been cared for elsewhere. One in nine hospital beds is tied up by delayed discharges, often because there’s nowhere for people to go. This isn’t just a budget issue—it’s about real people stuck in limbo, and care workers stretched to the limit. If the next Budget doesn’t prioritize social care, the system could become ‘irreparably broken.’ What changes would make the biggest difference for families and frontline workers in our community? #Health #BodyHealth #Scotland10Share
