SOCIALISTS and trade unionists were left fuming today after a multinational accounting firm was awarded a public contract to run Scotland’s national care service.

It was announced this week that the Scottish government had awarded an initial contract for the new service to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

The £100,000 contract is for “mobilisation of the national care service,” including a “high-level roadmap towards delivery of design,” according to a contract award notice.
