Scottish Health Secretary-General Catherine Calderwood resigned after being criticized for not following her own confinement instructions when visiting her holiday home.
Calderwood published a note in which he said that his behavior could become a distraction, to which Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon replied, in a statement: “It is not a risk we are willing to take.”
“It is clear that the mistake she made – although she sincerely and honorably apologized – risks distracting and undermining confidence in the Government’s message on public health at this crucial time. It is not a risk that we are willing to take », said the prime minister.
The head of the Health portfolio is now preparing to “guarantee a smooth transition for her successor in the coming days”. “She leaves office with my thanks and admiration,” said Sturgeon, recalling Catherine Calderwood as a “secretary general of transformational health”.
