Midlothian Council offers many services to people of all ages and backgrounds. You can access information about these services by clicking on the links at the left hand side under 'Health & Social Care'. We can provide services in a number of ways some services are provided by the Council, others are bought from voluntary sector agencies or the private sector or alternatively we can, by providing you with a Direct Payment to buy care or employ your own staff - depending on your circumstances. All our services work in close partnership with local health services, please see the links to our partnership websites by clicking on the green tabs at the top right of this page.
