First Minister asked to save care home
Older person

CAMPAIGNERS have called on the First Minister to step in and save a South Lanarkshire care home from the axe.

McClymont House Care Home in Lanark has been earmarked for closure as the South Lanarkshire’s Integrated Joint Board (IJB) as part of £1.5 million in cuts this year, but campaigners have fought to save it amid concerns quality of care for their loved ones could fall.

Concerned families have now written to John Swinney, “imploring” him to take action to save McClymont and any other care homes at risk amid swingeing social care cuts across Scotland.
