The number of Care homes for older people registered with the Care Inspectorate at 31 May 2020 is as follows:

The Scottish Government does not hold the information requested. Information on the discharge destination of delayed patients was published for the first time as part of Public Health Scotland's April Delayed Discharge census. However, details on specific homes patients were discharges to does is not collected.

The number of care homes for older people registered with the Care Inspectorate which are owned by voluntary sector providers is as follows:

From 27 May, the Care Inspectorate began reporting on deaths in care homes, as provided for under schedule 1, part 9 of the Coronavirus (Scotland) (No2) Act 2020.

In the week ending 31 May 2020, 213 care homes notified the Care Inspectorate of 289 deaths. This included a total of 76 suspected or confirmed cases attributable to Covid-19 across 44 services. Of those 44 services, 21 had at least one grade of weak or adequate at their last inspection.

On 10 April 2020 the Scottish Government's Chief Medical Officer, BMA and RCGP wrote to GP practices to provide advice and support on having anticipatory care planning conversations and to make clear that there is no requirement for health professionals to have a Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) discussion as part of this conversation, unless the patient wishes to discuss it or clinician feels strongly it is necessary to raise in conversation for the patient’s wellbeing.

Additionally, on 17 April 2020, a further joint letter from the Scottish Government’s Chief Medical Officer, BMA and RCGPs was sent to GPs to reinforce this message and set out how they could effectively support care homes during this difficult time.

No portfolio budgets are being cut in the Summer Budget Revision and all reprioritisation amounts within portfolios are set out in the detailed tables within the budget revision document. All funds are being redeployed to support the industries and infrastructure necessary to support the Scottish Economy.

All of the £255m reprioritisation amounts relate to areas where services have experienced reduced demand over the lockdown period and so funds have been redeployed to service providers to best support the Scottish Covid-19 response.

For example, £105m that was originally earmarked for domestic efficiency loans will now be used to provide funding for SME housebuilders with liquidity issues as a result of the temporary closure of housebuilding sites.

I am in no doubt that significant budget challenges lie ahead and work is underway to ensure that Scottish Government resources are targeted at stimulating a safe, swift and sustainable recovery for our public services and our economy.

Contractors delivering capital investment and maintenance programmes for Scottish Water operate under contracts that use the recognised New Engineering Contracts published by the Institution of Civil Engineers. These contracts include provisions relating to costs when unforeseen events occur. The shutdown as a result of COVID-19 is such an event.

During the COVID-19 crisis, contractors have made use of the UK Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme where their employees have been unable to work which has mitigated the cost to Scottish Water during the COVID-19 shutdown. Scottish Water is currently working with its supply chain to establish and ensure only properly due monies are paid in line with the aforementioned contracts and taking account of the Job Retention Scheme. It will take some time to complete assessments as the supply chain staff return from furlough but an early view is a cost of £9-15 million in total for the months of April and May. These costs will be subject to a full commercial audit and scrutiny when they are fully presented.

The Scottish Government recognises the importance of New Lanark as one of Scotland’s six World Heritage Sites, and we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure it can continue to thrive.

My officials attended two online meetings on Friday 29 th May, hosted by Aileen Campbell MSP as the local Clydesdale constituency MSP, to discuss its situation including concerns surrounding the recent potential redundancy announcements, and its financial situation. We have offered the Scottish Government’s full support to work alongside the Trust and other partners to address these issues including consideration of specific short-term funding needs.

Historic Environment Scotland (HES), our lead public body for the historic environment, and Scottish Enterprise are also supporting the New Lanark Trust to conduct a strategic review of its business operations which is designed to ensure the long-term viability and sustainability of this important asset.

I refer the member to the answer to question S5W-28437 on 27 April 2020. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament's website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx

In addition to the UK Government’s COVID-19 business support measures, such as the Coronavirus Job Retention, the Scottish Government has granted airports including those operated by HIAL, as well as ground handling services providers and Loganair, 100% non-domestic rates relief for the 20/21 financial year.

This question involves a broad range of policy areas and my answer focuses on Health & Social Care.

A range of measures are now in place to ensure Health & Social Care are well placed to respond to any second wave of the virus. This includes more digital tools, roll out of our test & protect system, and advance modelling to maintain our stock of PPE supplies.

NHS Boards and Health and Social Care Partnerships have developed local mobilisation plans in response to the COVID-19 emergency. We have also established a Care Home Rapid Action Group to monitor development in the care home sector.

‘Re-mobilise, Recover, Re-design: the framework for NHS Scotland' was published on 31 May. It sets out how health boards will follow national and local clinical advice to safely and gradually prioritise the resumption of some paused services, as well as ensuring we have the capacity that is necessary to deal with the continuing presence of Covid-19.

The biggest single factor in controlling the virus, will be how well we all continue to observe public health advice and we continue to take account of modelling and expert advice to ensure our plans are tailored. In addition, lessons already identified have allowed us to adapt our response and we are now better prepared than ever to manage any possible second wave.
