Health and social care services in Falkirk could be starting to see some “green shoots” of recovery – although they remain on an emergency footing to face the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A report to Falkirk Council’s Scrutiny committee on Thursday heard that the service continues to be under tremendous pressure, with soaring demand for services and large numbers of staff off sick or self-isolating.
This, along with a lack of people applying to work in social care, has led to huge waiting lists for people who need social care packages.
