We are delighted to be at @ILFScotland's 10th birthday event today. As you would expect from an organisation which supports disabled people to have choice and control over their lives, we have heard many inspirational stories of people's lives being transformed by the fund.

The Keynotes, our Central based inclusive choir, were delighted to bring their infectious joy to the #scvogathering earlier this week. They loved every minute & hoped their audiences did too 🎙️🎶

These are statutory public services that Government agencies are legally required to provide. We are calling on the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP to reconsider and if that doesn’t happen, we need @scotgov to step in and cover the costs. #eNICs

“Costs will go up by £82k per day.” Emma, supported by @thistlecharity, and @r_cackett were on STV News last night talking about the impact of the eNICs rise on providers & people.👇 youtu.be/EcoIA0nLc1k @RachelReevesMP @VODGmembership @ShonaRobison @ALLIANCEScot @scvotweet

“You can’t think of it as ‘the NHS should be reformed over here and social care should be reformed over here’.” @r_cackett was on the BBC’s Sunday Show discussing the NCS Bill and the need for reform in both social care & the NHS: tinyurl.com/4t85s3sz @JohnSwinney @IanMWelsh

“If we have no sector that’s stable, we can’t reform anything at all.” Last night @r_cackett spoke on the News at 7 about the NCS update and the urgent need to address social care funding challenges. Watch in full: tinyurl.com/bdfu9pav @cchangescotland @quarriers @IanMWelsh

NfP social care providers in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 face an extra bill of around £30 million to cover the NI rate rise & the threshold reduction. Money they do not have, and have no means to raise. #ValueSocialcare #ProvidersUnite @r_cackett @Providers_Unite @ComIntCare @turningpointsco @quarriers

People spoke about the importance of the relationships they have with their worker & how #SDS means using their individual budgets flexibly & creatively to lead the lives they choose. Mr Gray also listened carefully to people's worries about the challenges facing #SocialCare.

Delighted to meet with @neilcgray this morning. Joining the Cabinet Secretary and Key's CEO @andreawoodKey were people we support and staff from our North Lanarkshire service, some of whom live in Mr Gray's Airdrie and Shotts constituency.
