IN the context of over 300,000 excess deaths across Britain over the past decade of austerity, Glasgow’s most vulnerable are yet again under attack as the health and social care partnership (HSCP) announced cuts earlier this year which amount to almost £22 million.
These cuts include the loss of 197 full-time posts from vital front-line services such as the Community Links Programme, where Community Links practitioners (CLPs) make critical socio-economic interventions in communities that have been identified as the most deprived by the Scottish Deep End Project.
CLPs are based in medical practices across the city and are employed by third-sector organisations such as the Health and Social Care Alliance and We Are With You, which are awarded contracts by the HSCP.
