Submission Documents: Housing with Care Concerns As we move into our Budget setting period, we recall that Council recognised the serious implications of the actions of the Integration Joint Board at its Special Meeting of Council in September 2025. Despite a number of proposals tabled at the IJB meeting of 21 March 2025, a £2.592 million shortfall for the 2025/26 budget remained. Falkirk Council is being asked to meet this underfunding from already stretched finances. One of the proposals - the reprovisioning of care service at Tygetshaugh Housing with Care Facility in Dunipace - has repeatedly been shown to be flawed and?must?be reconsidered. The substantial negative impacts to Falkirk Council finances and increasing reputational damage are simply too onerous to sustain.? Falkirk Council therefore calls on the Chief Officer of the Health and Social Care Partnership to revisit the provisioning of care services at Tygetshaugh and provide to the next meeting of Council: 1. The revised savings figures from the reprovisioning of care service providers. 2. The identity of care service providers being proposed. 3. The process (including the dates and the teams undertaking the work) involved in residents' consultations to identify a care provider of their choice. 4. Falkirk Council further calls on the Integration Joint Board to reconsider its decision to reprovision and withdraw this decision in order to maintain the complete continuation of care services and community activities currently enjoyed by existing residents.
