Social care changes 'should benefit more people'
A system designed to give people greater choice and control over their social care should benefit more users, says a report.
The review by Audit Scotland found "no evidence" of the change it says is needed for Self-Directed Support (SDS).
Since 2014, SDS has meant people who need care from a local authority have the option of being given cash to organise it themselves.
The reorganisation of social care means that support is now largely provided by new local health and social care integration authorities, drawn from councils and the NHS.
