Social care staff in Renfrewshire have been applauded for their "continuing efforts" after a key service produced a strong inspection performance.

Care at Home, run by the area's health and social care partnership (HSCP), received three 'good' ratings and one 'very good' in an unannounced inspection from the Care Inspectorate.The results have been published against the backdrop of a stark financial picture for the sector, which has been caused by the combination of an increasing demand for services and higher costs.Councillor Jennifer Adam, chair of the integration joint board, the body responsible for oversight of the HSCP, expressed her gratitude to workers who have continued to perform in difficult circumstances.She said: "Despite the ongoing challenges facing our HSCP staff, the outcome from this inspection highlights that they continue to strive for and deliver high standards of care for the people across Renfrewshire who rely upon them.

I would like to thank them once again for their continuing efforts."Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
