Drop-in sessions will focus on social care

A number of drop-in sessions will be held this month to allow members of the public to have their say on adult social care.

Perth and Kinross Council is currently reviewing its adult social work and social care contributions policy, and is now holding public meetings to make sure local people, groups, charities and organisations have their say.

The proposals could affect the amount some people contribute towards their care and support services.

Comments and suggestions made during these public meetings will be given to councillors to help them decide on what changes to make.
