National Care Service: factsheet: Easy Read version
This easy read factsheet gives information about the Scottish Government's National Care Service (NCS). It explains the need for an NCS, the benefits of an NCS, and the plan for creating an NCS. It also has facts about Scotland's current social care landscape.
How much the NCS will cost
From 2022 to 2023 we spent almost 6 billion pounds on social care in Scotland. The source for this figure is on gov.scot.
There will be some extra costs in future years to make the NCS happen. We expect these costs to be about 3 hundred and 45 million pounds between the years 2022 and 2032.
The NCS could have large benefits for people who access or deliver community health, social work or social care support. This includes unpaid carers.
