Over 9000 people wrongly advised to 'shield'

Cllr Alastair Redman

The SNP’s ‘shielding’ of vulnerable people has been shambolic. 9,221 people were wrongly advised to isolate themselves completely during the pandemic. With 3,361 of these people told to ‘shield’ unnecessarily as a result of misidentification of cancers.

This just adds to the list of errors made by the SNP government regarding ‘shielded’ individuals – from letters sent to the wrong individuals, changes in the numbers of people shielding and problems with the text service.

This error is typical of the SNP’s mismanagement of this crisis.
