SNP Ignored Expert Advice on Protecting Care Homes

Monday, 25 May, 2020
  • Holyrood News

An Edinburgh University expert has slammed the SNP Government for ignoring his warning about care homes. Professor Richard Ennos wrote to the SNP Health Secretary before lockdown with a detailed plan to shield vulnerable people, but was ignored. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5630604/coronavirus-scotland-scottish-government-care-home-professor/

He said ‘untested patients were decanted into care homes full of elderly residents…As a consequence there was a huge death rate in care homes. I am desperately sad for those who have lost their lives as a consequence of the misguided policy of the Scottish Government.’

It's time for Sturgeon to admit that her mistakes may have cost lives - and to explain why SNP ministers ignored advice that could have been acted upon.
