A boss of a care home that has lost 9 residents to coronavirus has blasted the Scottish government on the lack of testing for covid-19.
Jack Ryan, chief executive of Newark Care, revealed he had repeatedly asked for testing of staff and residents.
In a scathing letter to the First Minister, he accused Nicola Sturgeon of “inaccurate and misleading” statements on the issue.
It was revealed this week that around one quarter of the 962 covid-19 related deaths occurred in care homes.
