The Caucus of Community Councils for Cowal unanimously object to and unanimously oppose the draconian cuts to health and social care which Christina West, chief officer of the Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership, put forward to the Integration Joint Board (IJB) last month.
The closure of dementia day centres, the withdrawal of support for those with learning disabilities, the privatisation of all council care home provision in Argyll and Bute were, we understand, only some of the completely unacceptable proposals made by Ms West and her management team.
However, we are also aware that previous rounds of cuts, proposed and implemented by the same team, have failed to meet their targets.
