A final decision on a controversial proposal to merge two day services for vulnerable people in Renfrewshire is set to be delayed amid the threat of a legal challenge.It acts as a temporary reprieve for carers who have contested the suggested amalgamation of the Mirin and Milldale centres for adults with learning disabilities at every turn since the idea was put forward in November.
The fight has been taken to the Court of Session after Govan Law Centre (GLC) said it has accepted instruction from a service user of Milldale to challenge its "proposed closure" – a potential consequence of combining the two – and a petition for judicial review has been lodged.As a result, the integration joint board (IJB) – the body which oversees Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) – is expected to slam the brakes on the cost-cutting measure so legal advice can be taken.
Councillor Iain McMillan, Labour group leader and a member of the board, said: "This is how serious people are taking this issue, that they are prepared to go down the legal route."It just shows you how big an issue it is.
They've obviously sought advice and Govan Law Centre has taken it up. Far be it for me to get involved in the legal aspects of it, but it just shows you how passionate these people are about this whole issue that they're prepared to go down that road."Judicial review is a type of court proceeding in which a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action taken by a public body.
