    The Scottish Government introduced the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish Parliament on 20 June 2022. 

    The Parliament’s Health, Social Care and Sport Committee published its Stage 1 report on the general principles of the Bill on 22 February 2024. On 29 February 2024, the Parliament voted to approve the general principles of the Bill at Stage 1. 
     
    During the course of its Stage 1 scrutiny of the Bill, the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee received notification of the Scottish Government’s intention to propose amendments to the Bill at Stage 2. The amendments were to reflect a consensus agreement it had reached with COSLA on a model of shared legal accountability for governance of the proposed National Care Service. 
     
    In the Committee’s Stage 1 report, a majority of Committee Members requested the Scottish Government provide the draft text of its Stage 2 amendments in advance of formal Stage 2 proceedings. This was to enable the Committee to take further evidence on the amendments prior to undertaking formal proceedings. 

    The Committee is now issuing a call for written evidence to hear your views about the draft amendments the Scottish Government is proposing to make to the Bill as introduced at Stage 2.
