In this week’s video, Heather speaks about the COVID-19 cases in hospitals in in the community. While the community case numbers are still high, they are on a downward trend which is encouraging. However, the number of hospital inpatients continues to increase slightly. There is still pressure on the intensive care units across the three acute hospitals. At the time of recording, there were also nine care home outbreaks.
Heather also speaks about the pressures on the Scottish Ambulance Service and whole system pressures including social care.
The Police Scotland Herbert protocol, which is an information gathering tool to assist the police to find a person living with dementia who has been reported missing, has been in the media this week and Heather takes the opportunity to raise awareness of this initiative.
