MSPs vote to postpone the Bill to create a National Care Service
MSPs have today voted to formally postpone the Bill to establish a National Care Service for Scotland until the end of June, in the face of “complex and extensive” scrutiny of the proposals.
A debate on the legislation was due to take place later this month but MSPs have now voted to pause Stage 1 until the 30th of June. The intention is to allow the lead scrutiny committee more time to work on its Stage 1 report and ensure the government can “comprehensively” consider its response.
