UNCERTAINTY and cuts to community health services in Glasgow threaten the most vulnerable.
Glasgow’s community link workers are a lifeline for many people across the city. Based out of GP practices, link workers support people with a variety of concerns such as housing, isolation and welfare support.
Cutting this workforce will be felt most acutely in the most deprived communities in Glasgow and will pile more pressure on the GP surgeries across the city, GP surgeries that have no headroom and are already overstretched. This is simply unacceptable. A strong community healthcare workforce is central to tackling the mental health, addiction and homelessness crises that affect Glaswegians. It must be well funded and not be viewed as an afterthought.
