Two north-east care homes where 27 people died and more than 150 others caught Covid-19 have been slammed by health inspectors.
The Care Inspectorate paid visits to Inchmarlo House near Banchory and Deeside Care Home in Cults amid outbreaks of the virus last month.
Both have been given a “weak” rating – equivalent to two points out of six – for their level of care and support amid the pandemic.
And this morning the Procurator Fiscal confirmed it received reports in connection with 12 deaths at Inchmarlo and 15 at Deeside.
