Key council services in Edinburgh are facing "critical" risks amid challenges bringing in new staff to take on lower paid jobs.
A report's "shocking" findings said health and social care is the department worst affected by ongoing workforce shortages, which are likely to continue "beyond 2023".
Presented to the council's scrutiny committee, it rated the level of risk to service delivery and workforce as "critical" which gave rise to major concerns amongst councillors in the meeting on Tuesday (May 2).
