Tracey Campbell said she was afraid for her daughter's future if the social care charge proposal is approved
Non-residential care includes social supports, charges for meals, day opportunities and community-based services.She said Leia receives a self-directed support budget which is "mainly spent on support workers to keep her safe". The petition said: "For my daughter, going to the cinema, shows, and pantomime is not a pastime. It's a lifeline in her battle against social isolation.
Members of the council's cabinet discussed the proposal and agreed to defer the decision until the implications of Wednesday's Scottish government budget were clear.
