Sunday shows round-up: Sturgeon challenged over care home deaths

Nicola Sturgeon – England’s care home deaths are under-reported

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has argued that the reason for Scotland’s relatively high rate of Covid-19 deaths in care homes could be because the figures for England and Wales are artificially low:

NS: It’s often put to me that the death rate for… care homes in Scotland is higher than it is in England and I just don’t believe that that is the case… It’s not for me to explain England’s figures, but I think here there is, at least on the face of it, a question of under-reporting in England.
