Covid-19 guidance provided to care provideers

The request was successful.

Dear Scottish Government,

Please treat this email as a Freedom of Information request.

I would be grateful if you could send me copies of all guidance and advisory notes issued by your organisation that relates to care home providers.

I am interested in all relevant written materials issued from December 2019 to the current date, including those that have been superseded or withdrawn by more recent guidance.

I am interested in all types of residential care guidance, but particularly those that relate to PPE guidance for staff, Covid-19 testing and the relationship between care homes and primary NHS care institutions such as hospitals.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Ally Tibbitt

Scottish Government
