A recent study from the BBC has highlighted that inspections at Scotland’s care homes fell by more than 90% during the first two months of the pandemic. At the same time, deaths from COVID-19 in care homes rose dramatically, eventually outstripping those in hospitals.
Calls have been made for independent inquiries to examine the procedures and policies operating in care homes during the pandemic and whether families’ loved ones, who were amongst the most vulnerable in society, were sufficiently protected from the impact of the pandemic.
Livingstone Brown has been instructed on behalf of several families to seek answers from care homes and public authorities on the deaths of their loved ones. We have a specialist team of solicitors who are able to investigate families’ concerns with empathy, respect and thoroughness.
