YOUR lead article on Friday ( Care home residents ‘left tied to long-term contracts’’ , The Herald, March 12) should be a wake-up call for us all living in a country with an ageing population. How can this be? Who is asking for those contracts, under what conditions are they being offered? Surely there is an ethical and moral question to such contracts and where does social services fit in? Your article rightly pointed out the recently published review into adult social care in Scotland, undertaken by Derek Feeley. This was an urgently-needed review and the Scottish Government has given a commitment to endorse the review in full. Indeed, only last month it brought forward legislation to establish a new National Care Service in line with NHS services in Scotland. Health Secretary Jeane Freeman emphasised that we must accord adult social care the same values as our NHS.
