Opening hospital services
The number of excess deaths seems likely to include a significant number of patients who have failed to present. This may have been through a combination of fear of contracting Covid19 and a mistake belief that they are ‘protecting the NHS’. Can Scot.Gov publish the levels of emergency attendances for Serious Conditions Since lockdown compared to previous years .
As we move back to Test track and isolate . I suggest that (at least in the major cities ) some hospitals should be designated ‘non covid’ with all admissions being tested before admission for current or previous infection.
The Louisa Jordan hospital could be used for step down covid

Why the contribution is important
To prevent continuation of excess deaths as far as possible. The fear of contracting Covid19 will remain until we have delivered an effective vaccine ( effective especially for those who are vulnerable which in the light of flu vaccine efficacy may be challenging for that group)

Primary healthcare services including people being able to be seen by a GP for concerns not currently classed as urgent or dental surgeries should be prioritised to open
Health is essential and currently people are not being seen by GPs for concerns seen as non urgent or referrals aren’t happening to specialist clinics if required. We need to restart services or there will be a huge backlog. Also there is going to be bad health outcomes for people all over the country over and above Covid-19.
