Care Reform (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3 | Scottish Parliament debates

This is another short group. To transform social care, it is important that we have a better understanding of projected needs. If we do so, we will be able to assess the progress that is being made for the people of Scotland. Amendment 46 would give us the opportunity to be data driven in our pursuit of social care reform, with Scottish ministers producing a report before the end of 2026 and every five years thereafter on projected social care needs over a 10-year horizon. We would then be better able to plan for the future and deliver the change that we all want to see.

Amendment 51 is consequential to amendment 46. I commend both amendments to members.

I move amendment 46.
