Social Care Hustings 2026

Scottish Care invites you to our Social Care Political Hustings – bringing together political representatives and members to discuss the future of social care in Scotland. We will also launch Care Creates, a national campaign inviting Scotland to see social care as an investment in wellbeing, our economy and our shared future.

Why attend

  • Hear perspectives from across political parties ahead of the next Parliamentary term.
  • Engage in a constructive Q&A on priorities including fair funding, workforce, integration and innovation.
  • Learn about Care Creates and how reframing social care can build public understanding and support.

 

Confirmed speakers

We are pleased to confirm the following party representatives will be taking part in the hustings:

  • Brian Whittle MSP – Scottish Conservatives
  • Gillian Mackay MSP – Scottish Greens
  • Caron Lindsay – Scottish Liberal Democrats
  • Jackie Baillie MSP – Scottish Labour
  • Mike Collier – Reform
  • Tom Arthur MSP – Scottish National Party (SNP)
