Scottish Green proposals for universal support for people to self-isolate have been voted down by the SNP and Tory MSPs.
Despite being a vital part of attempts to drive down transmission of coronavirus, compliance in self-isolation remains worryingly low.
Proposals from the Scottish Greens included universal support in the form of tailored ‘supported isolation packages’ that would include financial and practical support such as accommodation, food, and any other essential services that may be required to allow self-isolate.
