Councillors expressed frustration at the lack of compensation for East Ayrshire Council's efforts.
Councillors want more acknowledgement and support for East Ayrshire’s success in minimising delayed hospital discharges.
“We should be contacting the Scottish Government to flag this up as we are doing the right thing and we seem to be being penalised for it.”Chief Executive Eddie Fraser added that there is a review of the integration of the health and social care partnership, which will include the financial arrangements.”
Mr Fraser, the former boss of East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership, acknowledged the issue. Mr Fraser added that they could not have a situation arise where someone with a critical risk was unable to receive care because of resources used on moderate cases. The review will also look at the in-house versus private provision of care.
