EXCLUSIVE: Campaigners have also urged Labour's South Lanarkshire council leader Joe Fagan to ask the Scottish Government for extra funding to save the homes.
Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie have been urged to intervene to stop the closure of two care homes in South Lanarkshire.
The potential closures are part of a package of proposals to meet a nearly £20 million shortfall for adult and older people’s social care. Campaigners have also urged Fagan to ask the Scottish Government for extra funding to save the homes. The closure of the care homes was proposed last year and all four councillors on the IJB voted against it.
