The stark financial decisions facing Glasgow’s health and social care partnership have been laid bare in leaked documents, as it grapples with a huge budget gap.
Options for savings worth £22m have been set out by officials, including slashing £3.5m from a budget for buying care home beds for older people, closing Hamilton Park Avenue children’s residential home and shutting Carlton Day Centre for people with learning disabilities.
A support service for children “living with a parent with alcohol and drug problems” could be decommissioned to save £600,000 and £2m cut from the Glasgow Alliance to End Homelessness, which has a “critical role” in providing emergency accommodation to homeless people.
