| 14 | Motion Submitted Under Standing Order 22 Housing with Care We recognise the serious financial problems of the Integration Joint Board, and the difficulties being faced in maintaining Health and Social Care Services for vulnerable Falkirk residents. Despite a number of savings measures agreed at its meeting on 21 March 2025 there is still a £2.592 million shortfall for the 2025/26 budget which Falkirk Council may be asked to meet. One of the savings measures agreed - the reprovisioning of one Housing with Care Facility - has been widely criticised, and the IJB recognises the concerns that staff and residents have expressed. The IJB calls on the Chief Officer to provide a report on the detail of: 1. The option appraisal that resulted in Tygetshaugh Court being selected for reprovisioning. 2. The alternative options considered and rejected. 3. The reasons for Tygetshaugh being chosen for reprovisioning. 4. The reasons for less than half of the tenancies having a resident who requires a care service. 5. The expected savings from the reprovisioning. 6. The arrangements to ensure monitoring of the savings achieved. 7. The actions taken to ensure residents who receive care have a care provider of their choice. 8. Arrangements in place to check on the satisfaction of residents with the care provided. 9. The arrangements being made to ensure staff have access to suitable alternative posts. 10. The actions being taken to ensure that tenancies are being allocated to people who need care. Proposed by Councillor Anne Hannah |
