Louise White asks: How hard is it to get care home funding in Scotland?

BBC Scotland has further evidence that Scots are being wrongly charged for care home costs. An expert has looked at one case and concluded that the patient would qualify for tens of thousands of pounds of funding if they lived in England, whereas here in Scotland she has been repeatedly turned down and is being forces to sell her home.
