In the midst of all the debate about who are #priority workers our CEO @DrDMacaskill records a personal thanks to #Scotland’s #socialcare workers facing the challenge of #coronavirus. ‘They are the best of us ... we owe them a debt of gratitude.’

[Donald Macaskill @DrDMacaskill]

Having had a busy morning with meetings and conversations can I please stress loud and clear that #carehome and #homecare frontline staff are CRITICAL and ESSENTIAL in the fight against #coronavirus & their children will require support to allow mum & dad to work. @scottishcare

Cannot stress enough that Scotland’s #carehomes are there to support residents and families through this challenging time. #coronavirus #COVID19
