SOCIAL care and health services in Argyll face a £22 million funding gap over the next two years – described by a Mid Argyll councillor as a ‘financial precipice’.
The local governing body for health and social care, Argyll and Bute Integration Joint Board (IJB) revealed last week that it must make savings of £16.3 million for 2017/18 and a further £5.7 million for 2018-19 from its annual budget of £256 million.
