The Scottish Lib Dems asked a Holyrood question about the number of visits Christina McKelvie made to care homes since March 2020.
The response read: “The Minister for Older People has made no physical or virtual visits to care homes since March 2020.”
They also asked for meetings she had with staff, residents or their relatives, representatives of industry body Scottish Care or groups who were representing families.
It said the Minister had attended just one meeting with a group representing OAPs’ families in October but was a guest of Health Secretary Jeane Freeman.
