Bield said it was in advanced talks to secure a new provider for four of the care homes in Edinburgh, Fife and Jedburgh.

The Scottish government is being urged to step in and save 12 Bield care homes from being closed.

"Despite many attempts to research and consider alternative models to address the challenges, Bield have regrettably not been able to find a solution that ensures financial viability while maintaining high standards of care."

"The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport is due to meet the chief executive of Bield Housing and Care later this month to discuss progress."

The union will back calls for government intervention at a public meeting due to take place for family and friends of Bield residents.
