Social Care Charges (Dumfries and Galloway) To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the reported sharp rise in social care charges for disabled people under 65 in Dumfries and Galloway, and whether it considers this a consequence of the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities recommending an applicable income allowance of £132 per week. (S5O-00405) I am disappointed that Dumfries and Galloway Council has chosen to adopt a lower income threshold for people under the age of 65.
