Free Personal and Nursing Care, Scotland (FPNCS)
Free Personal and Nursing Care (FPNC) is a Scottish Government initiative aimed at providing free-of-charge personal and nursing care to adults assessed as needing these services. Initially introduced in 2002 for those aged 65 and over, it was extended to all adults in April 2019 under "Frank’s Law."
