Carers meet First Minister on her first day in post

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, in her first official meeting, met a group of carers from across Scotland.

The meeting, held in the Cabinet Room at Bute House, allowed carers to raise a wide range of issues of concern to themselves and the people they care for.  

Two representatives from the national carer organisations, including Carers Scotland, also attended.

The First Minister confirmed that she intends to hold a similar meeting with carers every 6 months, reiterating the commitment she made as Deputy First Minister in April.
