Sixty people living in local care homes have died after contracting Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, according to new figures.
Statistics released by the Care Inspectorate show that in the last year alone, there have been 15 deaths in facilities across West Dunbartonshire, Helensburgh and Lomond.
The data has been described as “heartbreaking” by Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie, who says it’s vital a public inquiry focuses on lessons which can be learned.
