The article correctly points out that a fortnightly report on the outcome of care home checks is currently being presented to the Holyrood Parliament. However, these inspections are very keen to make points that seem to blame care home staff for most weaknesses they inevitably find in busy care home settings. As a care home worker before and throughout the pandemic, I am qualified to respond to these issues. Since last March I have been expected to carry out duties of a dispensing pharmacist, be a substitute family member to the residents I am responsible for, as well as carrying out enhanced deep cleaning.
