McMillan Welcomes Care Information Service

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has welcomed the Scottish Government’s launch of a new information service for older people in Scotland.
Care Information Scotland (CIS) offers a single point of information on the care available for older people in Inverclyde.

It offers detailed information for older people and their families on the range of community care services available from local authorities, the private and voluntary sector.

Mr. McMillan said;

"We have some fantastic care services for older people in Inverclyde but sometimes it’s not easy to find out about these services.

"This service, the first of its kind in Scotland, offering a single point of information is an ideal way to make sure people can find out about the local services available.

"It will make things a lot easier for people looking to find out about care and support as it is clear and understandable for all.

"I would encourage anyone unsure about what is available either to themselves or family members to give the helpline a call on 08456 001 001 or have a look at the website http://www.blogger.com/www.careinfoscotland.co.uk".
