Pensioner's benefits

Posted by Jeff Rees on January 26, 2008 2:27 PM | 

Benefits for pensioners are among the powers that could be transferred to Holyrood, a former Liberal Democrat minister said yesterday.
Ross Finnie said that a cross-party body looking at the constitution should consider the issue.
The former environment minister said there needed to be closer integration between benefits and "healthcare, care to elderly and provision to the unwell.
"It's perfectly proper for a Scottish Parliament to decide exactly how it delivers that level of care".

It's perfectly proper for the Senedd to decide too.
