Care homes
Concerns about care homes relate to deaths of residents, whether residents of care homes have had equal access to hospital treatment, if clinical guidance is appropriate, whether sufficient personal protective equipment (“PPE”) has been made available to both staff and residents, whether coronavirus testing of care home residents and staff is adequate and the facilitating of visits.
Healthcare Improvement Scotland referred to its published evidence which clearly identifies older people and care home residents are disproportionately vulnerable to COVID-19 illness.
