We would like invite you to share your views as part of our latest period of public engagement. This engagement aims to help the IJB address the financial challenges it currently faces - and seeks feedback on a range of new service reviews and other service-related savings, which are set out below.
In December 2024, IJB voting members agreed that we should further explore eight areas, which had been identified as part of the Sustainable Futures Programme, for having potential to reduce the budget gap through service redesign and other cost reduction means. Following ongoing engagement in the form of strategic and care planning group discussions, as well as a series of staff and targeted focus groups, we have analysed the feedback and have used this to inform the following proposals.
It is important to emphasise that no decisions will be made on any of the proposals until the IJB meets in September 2025.
Information About the Proposals
For each of the following proposals, we have published a full draft Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA), an easy read version as well as a summary version with accompanying voiceover. AI has been used to help summarise the data provided on each of the summaries with voiceover below:
Learning Disability and Physical Disability Day Services Redesign
Older Adult Day Services Redesign
Learning Disability Respite Review
Autism Connections Closure
Flexicare Closure
End Assertive Outreach
Health Visiting Review
Childsmile Removal
How you can get involved...
Please share your feedback by using the form below, which will be available throughout June, closing on Monday 30 June. Paper versions of the form will be available at various locations across Renfrewshire (a list of locations is available below).
Your views will be considered - and will be brought back to the IJB for consideration at its meeting in September 2025.

Attend a Town Hall Event to Discuss the Proposals
As part of this period of engagement, we have arranged a series of 'Town Hall' events at locations across Renfrewshire. These events will enable people to come together, in person, to discuss the proposals being considered. At each event, attendees will be able to select up to three group discussions to participate in and share their views. Places are limited to 80 people at each location. A series of online events has also been arranged for those who can't attend the face-to-face sessions.
