The Scottish Government are still working to improve the social care support system.
The Care Reform (Scotland) Bill has now had formal agreement by the King and became an Act of the Scottish Parliament.
An Act is a law passed by Scottish Parliament.
The interim Advisory Board is set up and had its first meeting in May 2025.
The interim Advisory Board is a group of people who will work together until the final Advisory Board is set up.
Soon the final board will be set up. This will be done after a fair and open appointments process.
