Almost 200 jobs are set to be slashed and £21m of cuts, which put “citizens in danger”, are on the table as Glasgow’s health and social care services look to plug a £40m funding gap.
The package of savings and increased charges will go before the Glasgow City Integration Joint Board [IJB] on Wednesday, when members will also be asked to take £17m from reserves to help fund services.
Trade unions are set to protest outside Glasgow’s health and social care partnership [HSCP] headquarters ahead of the meeting, as they fear the proposed cuts could breach statutory obligations to provide services.
