North Ayrshire's IJB has been forced to admit the error in spending.
Careless North Ayrshire Integration Joint Board chiefs will have to tighten their belts after an "innacuracy" saw them blunder on their spending by more than £3m on a key service.
The shortfall is funded from unearmarked reserves and as such there is no requirement at this stage to request additional funding from North Ayrshire Council or NHS Ayrshire and Arran. Paul Doak, North Ayrshire Council Head of Service said: “You are absolutely correct there wasn’t an overspend in care at home reported here, it was simply down to an inaccuracy in that projection.
“So it is difficult, it will affect other services and it is going to have to be brought under control. We want to be reassured that similar estimates for other areas are robust too as we are not going to repeat an error.
