That the Parliament notes the publication of Public Health Scotland report, Discharges from NHSScotland Hospitals to Care Homes between 1 March and 31 May 2020; further notes with serious concern the report's analysis of the transfer of COVID-19 positive patients from hospital to care homes during this time; recognises the risk that this might have posed for vulnerable and older care home residents, and calls on the Scottish Government to hold an immediate public inquiry to find out what happened in Scotland's care homes during the course of the pandemic, which resulted in the deaths of more than 2,000 residents; believes that such an inquiry should take a human rights approach and consider the role of Scottish Government guidance in relation to COVID-19 outbreaks in care homes, and calls on the Scottish Government to commence cross-party talks on the inquiry remit, in the interests of transparency and public safety.
