Scottish Covid Bereaved deliver damning verdict on Scottish Covid Inquiry

Grieving families have accused the delayed £50million Scottish Covid inquiry of prolonging their agony as it was revealed politicians will not give evidence until next year.

Relatives of Scots who died from coronavirus hit out as the chairman of the probe - which is examining the response of the Scottish Government to the pandemic - said evidence from key ministers and their aides could run into 2027.

The investigation - Scotland’s largest ever public inquiry - is poised to hear from former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who was at the helm during the crisis and gave bombshell evidence to the UK inquiry more than two years ago.

And bereaved families accused the Scottish inquiry of failing to deliver on Tuesday - saying a new pandemic could hit before lessons are learned.

Margaret Waterton, 65, lost her mother and husband to coronavirus just six months apart.

Her 86-year-old mum, also Margaret, died after testing positive at Monklands Hospital, North Lanarkshire, in 2020.

Her husband, David, died in hospital aged 71 in January 2021.
