Another unconvincing BBC Scotland attack on NHS Scotland based on tiny obscure sample ‘co-ordinated’ by one GP

This is not from ‘Coronavirus medics’ but from one Glasgow GP and friends

From BBC Scotland this morning:

Medical professionals have written to the Scottish government to express “grave concerns” about the protective equipment they have been given. The letter claims some front line staff are risking their lives in the Covid-19 epidemic because they do not have suitable aprons, masks and eyewear. The open letter has been signed by more than 100 medical professionals.

This is just another unreliable source given uncritical prominence by BBC Scotland in contravention of their own editorial guidelines.

How many of these ‘more than 100 medical professionals’ are GPs out of the 5 000 in Scotland? How many are nurses? Are receptionists in the list? Why do we only see one name in the report?

This is another small unreliable source enthusiastically picked up by BBC Scotland to try to undermine the performance of NHS Scotland and by association, the Scottish Government, and by association, the SNP:
