11 May 2020 Commenting on the findings of the BBC’s Disclosure programme investigation into the origins of the coronavirus outbreak in Scotland and the failure to move to lockdown quickly enough, Scottish Labour Health Spokesperson Monica Lennon said:
“The findings of this investigation are deeply troubling and require an immediate response from the First Minister.
"Public confidence is essential and that means full transparency. We are supporting the national effort against this pandemic.
"We want our governments to succeed in beating the virus, and this evidence presented tonight suggests lockdown should have taken place earlier.
“Information about a potential coronavirus outbreak in Edinburgh in February should have been made public as soon as the Scottish Government became aware of it.
“We owe it to these families to get answers and to do everything we can to prevent more deaths.”
