In February 2021 the completed Independent Review of Adult Social Care (known as the “Feeley review”), commissioned by Scottish Government, was published. One recommendation of the Review was the creation of a National Care Service; Scottish Government has now opened a national consultation on this, with several online consultation events. The deadline for consultation responses is Monday 18th October. Our colleagues at Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS) are also focusing their next “Our World Reimagined – Social Care” events on the Feeley review.
