Verbatim
“In light of Lady Hallett's findings, Scottish ministers owe them a public apology and they must also take steps to ensure the mistakes of the past are never repeated.”
“I do feel the Scottish Government were playing Russian roulette with the lives of our vulnerable elderly during that period. In my view lives were lost because of that delay in testing of staff and residents without symptoms.”
“Social care in Scotland is in intensive care. More care homes are sadly going to close, making vulnerable elderly homeless and some will tragically die due to the lack of proper government support.”
