Scottish Labour has pledged to invest £300 million in social care as a poll of older people revealed they have fallen behind the Tories.

Fewer than one in five people over 60 are backing Kezia Dugdale’s party in May’s Holyrood election. Just 19% intend to give it their constituency vote, with 18% showing support for the party in the regional list vote.

By comparison, 43% of respondents backed the SNP in the constituency vote, with 28% supporting the Conservatives.

The SNP gained the support of 38% in the regional vote, while the Tories mustered 27%, the Lib Dems 7%, the Greens 5% and Ukip 4%.

Meanwhile, analysis from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde showed that health and social care partnerships will start with a £20 million deficit in Glasgow.

Public services spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said that would have a negative impact on older people and pledged to invest the cash for social care to guarantee a care package within a week of assessment.

An SNP spokesman said: “Labours plans are unfunded empty gestures that no-one can take seriously.”
