Director of Public Health Lisa McNally said "We have some really good work going on in care homes – they are doing a great job under enormous pressure and I have been very impressed by how well their infection control measures have been put in place.”

I have to praise the dedication and compassion of care home staff, following the release of national data showing how the sector is suffering under coronavirus.
We are so proud of our care home staff and we are doing our very best to support them as much as we can.
