Proposals would see care services limited to “only providing support to those in greatest need”.
Residents in East Renfrewshire could miss out on care services as “difficult” budget decisions are set to include “only providing support to those in greatest need”.
East Renfrewshire’s HSCP — directed by a joint board [IJB] with council and NHS members — delivers all local health and social services, for children, adults and older people. But it faces “very difficult decisions”, the official said, which will mean “our focus will need to move away from a lot of the prevention and early intervention work that we have prided ourselves on”.
“There is a big volume increase there and the complexity of needs is increasing as well,” he said. “That puts a disproportionate demand on East Renfrewshire compared to other councils whose age profile is a little bit less than us.”
