East Ayrshire social care bosses are playing ‘Russian roulette’ with vital care services by paying less to providers than their neighbours in North and South Ayrshire.
Councillor Maureen McKay made the comparison at East Ayrshire Integration Joint Board, where concerns that this could risk care at home providers withdrawing from the authority were raised.
The growing gap between the pay offer to providers was highlighted as the board discussed the 2023/24 IJB budget.
