BBC news
have reported that Disabled people in
Edinburgh have won their campaign to
keep their carers rather than the
Council putting the services out to
competitive tendering.
Vulnerable adults worried that they
would lose the carers with whom they had
built up a relationship, sometimes over
many years and they chose to pay
directly for their services.
This week
the Council is expected to agree to drop
the tendering process for social care
for vulnerable adults.
A
spokesman from Learning Disability
Alliance Scotland, said they were
worried that vulnerable people would not
be given the choice over whether or not
their services should be changed.
