Sir, Headlines in the press and social media, during the last month, have highlighted significant concerns expressed by communities, staff and politicians related to the potential changes which the Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership Integration Joint Board (IJB) has considered to balance its budget.

It is also essential that those faced with making the difficult decisions about prioritisation of public finances listen to the voices of those who use the services.
