Fagan Demands Real Investment in Social Care | Belfast News
Description
Joe Fagan, Scottish Labour leadership hopeful, is sounding the alarm on looming cuts to social care funding, warning they’ll cause real-terms spending declines this year — a move he calls unacceptable. Backing Cosla’s call for £750 million in new, not recycled, funds, Fagan stresses councils need autonomy and resources to deliver vital services, criticizing SNP centralization that leaves local authorities underfunded and scapegoated. With a track record of bold local policy pushes — from public bus control to £15 minimum wage for care workers — this is his third major budget challenge, demanding fairer, core funding for communities ahead of the next budget.
