Let’s give it the attention and credit it deserves… and the resources to do it properly.

Good social care enables people to thrive and not just survive.
Quotes from @drdmacaskill.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️

“A new report shows the economic and social value of the adult social care sector in Scotland was £5.2 billion in 2022/23. It also estimates that every £1 spent in the sector brought £1.98 in socioeconomic benefits.”
