The Greens are expected to pass a motion which withdraws support for the current Bill.
The Scottish Greens are poised to deliver a final and fatal blow to the SNP Government’s troubled national care service plan. A motion at the party’s conference this weekend calls for the Greens to withdraw support for the proposals.
However, the Greens are set to line up behind the other opposition parties as well as sceptical unions and councils. The emergency motion this Saturday has been tabled by Councillor Anthony Carroll and backed by the Scottish Green health spokeswoman Gillian Mackay. Scottish politics "Greens re-affirm our commitment to local accountability and delivery, and believes that the funding for re-structuring in the Scottish Government's plans could be better used to help deliver local social care services that have been under intense financial pressure."
