Open Letter from UKMFA re URGENT Call to withdraw Face Mask Requirements in Scottish Healthcare Facilities

04/06/22

UKMFA have written to the Scottish Health Secretary and Chief Medical Officer, calling upon the Scottish Government to urgently align their policies with the rest of the UK and make face masks optional for all staff, patients and visitors, with immediate effect.  

Following previous letters on this topic, highlighting the available scientific and experiential evidence showing lack of benefit and risks of adverse effects, we present further evidence and data showing there is no reason Scotland needs to adopt a different policy to England and Wales.
