Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) have a multi-million black hole they have to deal with and, while I don’t want to reduce this to party politics, it is due to SNP cuts.

It makes Anas Sarwar's campaign to cut waste and bureaucracy out of health and social care so that more cash is spent on frontline services all the more important.

‘That said, I will work with anyone and everyone to protect the most vulnerable in our communities who rely on these vital services which are at risk.

Our neighbours with autism. Help our older and younger adults rely on.
