Councillor Thomas Kerr has now asked officers to write to the respective organisations to raise concerns about the lack of attendance from both of them after community representatives turned up the hear what they had to say
The NHS and Police Scotland have been criticised after representatives failed to attend a local community meeting.
.A report on an adult health and well-being survey detailing the results for the North East of Glasgow was on the agenda but no one there to explain the findings. Speaking on the NHS update, councillor Kerr said: “I am happy to continue this item to the next meeting but can I make a request that we express our disappointment that they are not here today and they have not engaged with us at all because I don’t think that’s fair.
“I totally get there may be something going on in the city where they have to get pulled away so it’s different for them from the NHS but I think just to reiterate that point, even if they are not able to come, if they can give some sort of written report like Scottish Fire and Rescue - I think it would be helpful for members to have that information.
