Watch the chamber session on SPTV · lands on the meetings recorded on 23 Dec 2021

To ask the Scottish Government what impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the delivery of the extension of free personal care to people under 65.

The answer

The Scottish Government extended Free Personal Care to under 65s from the 1 April 2019. We fully recognise the difficulties facing the social care sector during the current pandemic. That is why we recently announced £300 million in additional funding to help alleviate system pressures in the social care sector. This includes £62 million to maximise the capacity of care at home services.
