A statement from @SNP_dmg Exec member @grantyferguson on @BBCScotland's decision to stop broadcasting daily public health briefings during a global pandemic:
“I cannot believe that BBC Scotland is to cancel the daily COVID-19 briefings. This decision directly impacts the Deaf community as the daily BSL interpreting helps save lives and protect others." /2
"Vital communication is removed – during a global pandemic - and is an infringement towards our human rights as there are no alternatives for the Deaf community to receive this essential information.” /3
COVID has proved to adversely effect people with underlying health conditions. We stand with others calling for BBC Scotland to reverse this atrocious decision.

Scotland's public service broadcaster must not let disabled people down at this critical time. /END
