I'm afraid that doing nothing is not a good enough response to the problem. It wouldn't be acceptable for the UK Government and equally it's not acceptable for the Scottish Government. This is a public health emergency, so treat it as vitally important - potentially a matter of life and death.

Jeane Freeman stated in a BBC interview that because staff didn't have security clearance from the Home Office they couldn't check that passengers were obeying the quarantine rules. That is what is nonsense. Data Protection is also mentioned as part of the reason for the failure, but that could be negated by getting the information directly from the passengers. As mentioned in my previous post, someone should have taken responsibility and organised another way of recording the details required.

Not only did the Scottish Government keep quiet about the system failure for 4 weeks, there is a report that Humza Yousaf confirmed that the system was being operated according to the rules, when obviously it wasn't. So much for open and honest conversations and transparency. But I expect no more to be honest. They are politicians after all.
