Over £20 million of cuts will be made to social care in Glasgow as part of plans to plug a £40m budget gap.
Almost 200 jobs are set to be lost due to the savings, while a budget for care home beds is being slashed, charges increased and £17m taken from reserves to deal with the shortfall.
Sending a “distress flare” — by not agreeing a budget — was considered by members of Glasgow City Integration Joint Board [IJB], a partnership between the council and NHS which runs the health and social care partnership [HSCP].
