The Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry began in Edinburgh on Tuesday where lawyers gave opening statements on behalf of core participants.
Care home residents were compared to “exhibits in a reptile house” because of Covid restrictions limiting visits, a lawyer representing families told the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry as it began on Tuesday.
Ms Galbraith told the inquiry residents in care homes suffered an “unnecessarily disproportionate” impact on their lives which left them feeling “isolated, unheard and discriminated against”. She said: “Perhaps they would be paraded out behind glass like an exhibit at a reptile museum or a prisoner.” The organisation also had issues with sourcing personal protective equipment due to the unprecedented demand for it.CrossReach also had incidents when children in their care were prevented from seeing members of their families.
