'Culture of secrecy' in handling of the pandemic

The widow of a top Scottish government official has accused ministers of hiding mistakes made in the handling of the pandemic instead of learning from them.

Louise Slorance's husband Andrew died after catching Covid while having cancer treatment in a Glasgow hospital in 2020.

Mrs Slorance was speaking after former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had given evidence to the UK Covid inquiry in Edinburgh.

She said there was a "culture of secrecy" within the Scottish government.
