Thought for the week: Alastair McIntosh takes care

Recently I chanced to catch a blog post written by Donald Macaskill. He is the head of Scottish Care, an umbrella organisation for care homes. Titled ‘200 Days of Emptiness’ it reflected on the length of time that care home lockdown had then been in place. I was moved to see an official write with such compassion of what he called ‘the emptiness of grieving, of lostness and aloneness’.
