Sturgeon pledges to drive ‘profit motive’ out of care
First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) Nicola Sturgeon in Glasgow, during campaigning for the Scottish Parliamentary election

THE plans to create a national care service in Scotland would lead to the profit motive being “progressively driven out” from the sector, Nicola Sturgeon said yesterday.

The First Minister outlined broad plans for the creation of a uniform care sector in Scotland.

This pledge comes after the SNP backed the creation of parity between the NHS and care across Scotland.
