Residents in East Renfrewshire could miss out on care services as “difficult” budget decisions are set to include “only providing support to those in greatest need”.
The area’s health and social care partnership [HSCP] is facing a funding shortfall which could be as high as £10m and jobs are likely to be lost — on a “voluntary basis as far as possible”.
Officials have revealed a “prioritisation” framework will need to be introduced. “This will mean that only those with the greatest level of need will receive services,” they reported.
