Incredible though it sounds Scotland's health minister, Jeane Freeman was forced to admit that she had not seen the latest care home guidance issued by the Scottish Government.

Now there is controversy surrounding residential care at the moment with claims that residents have been:
  • denied access to hospital treatment 
  • discharged from hospital without being given the 'all clear' from Coronavirus
  • issued with 'DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) notices by GPs' without their and/or their families knowledge.
And that's without getting into the problems of PPE and whether 'barrier techniques' in care homes have been of a sufficiently high standard.  

So you would think that the Scottish health minister would be familiar with the latest advice being issued by her own government department.

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
