Choices was a victim of the council cutbacks
|
An equality watchdog is discussing Aberdeen City Council's budget cuts.
As previously revealed by BBC Scotland, the Equality and Human Rights Commission will consider whether to legally challenge some cutbacks.
Among the cuts it examines will be the closure of the Choices day centre for the disabled.
The Commission is to consider whether the cut backs were "equality impact assessed". Aberdeen City Council said it would be inappropriate to comment.
The Choices centre, in Westburn Road, offered respite care for 56 people. It was closed in May as part of the council's bid to save �50m.
