"Alarm bells" are ringing among vulnerable Renfrewshire residents as preparations are made to plug a near £8 million black hole in next year's health and social care budget.
Senior officials have conceded it has become "much more difficult" to find ways of making savings that won't impact frontline services amid a challenging financial picture.
They said they will try to "modernise" and address the gap in a "sustainable way" at a meeting of the integration joint board (IJB), the body responsible for oversight of the health and social care partnership (HSCP), on Friday.
