(ii) TREASURY MANAGEMENT MID-YEAR REPORT FOR 2025/26

Audit and Scrutiny Committee Recommendation:
That the Council approves the attached organisations for investment of surplus
funds.

6. NOTICE OF MOTION
Consider Notice of Motion in the following terms: -
East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership
This Council recognises that East Renfrewshire faces distinct challenges in delivering
sustainable health and social care due to demographic changes (particularly increases
in the elderly population of the area) and financial funding shortfalls created by funding cuts by the Scottish Government to East Renfrewshire Council for allocation to the HSCP.
Council believes that urgent, coordinated action is required to safeguard the wellbeing of our communities and ensure equitable access to care.
Council notes the Integration Joint Board papers of 19 November 2025 which confirm:
• an underlying structural deficit of £2.4m and projected pressures of £6.5–£6.8m
for 2025/26;
• a forecast funding gap of £27m over four years;
• that general reserves are projected to fall to 0.1%, a level described as
unsustainable and creating a “real risk that services will have to be scaled back in
an unplanned and reactive basis”;
• and the Chief Officer’s warning that “maintaining service delivery whilst managing
continued significant savings challenges remains our most significant risk.”

Council therefore resolves to:
1. Declare a ‘Health and Social Care Emergency’ in East Renfrewshire to indicate
that the current healthcare service levels cannot be continued at adequate levels
without increased funding.
2. Instructs the Convener of Health and Social care to write to the Minister of Health
in the Scottish Government Scottish requesting realistic re-evaluation to
adequately fund monies allocated to the East Renfrewshire Council to distribute
to the East Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership.
3. Call on the Scottish Government to ensure that realistic long-term funding is
available for this local authority and its HSCPs to deliver integrated care and
support sustained investment in early intervention, family support, and community-
led services to reduce demand for crisis care.

Proposer: Councillor Paul Edlin
Seconder: Councillor Andrew Morrison
