Lord Brailsford will take charge of Scotland's Covid-19 inquiry after the resignation of Lady Poole.
Mr Swinney also announced the inquiry will change its terms of reference to include "a clear reference" to the probe taking a human rights-based approach.
"That is why arrangements for identifying a new judicial chair for the inquiry have been taken forward urgently to ensure a swift and successful transition."Families who lost loved ones to Covid have previously told Mr Swinney they felt "betrayed" by the handling of the inquiry amid fears of delays. Scottish Conservative health spokesman Dr Sandesh Gulhane said that while the appointment of a new chair was a step forward, "there is still a lack of a clear commitment from the deputy first minister over just how long this inquiry will go on for".
