Health board members in East Lothian have rejected a reduced council funding offer after being told it did not meet Scottish Government expectations.
Health and social care services in East Lothian are jointly funded through the board with grants from the local authority and NHS Lothian each year.
However East Lothian Integration Joint Board (IJB), which oversees the services, was told the council had, for the first time this year, decided to reduce the funding by £250,000.
