Crosslet House care home A DETAILED picture has emerged of how many Dumbarton and the Vale care home residents’ deaths were linked to Covid-19. Privately-owned and council run facilities have largely been silent about how many residents died from confirmed or suspected Covid-19. Figures were released by the Crown Office to the BBC under freedom of information laws. About a third of Scotland’s 10,000 recorded coronavirus deaths happened in care homes. West Dunbartonshire Council and the Care Inspectorate have never confirmed exact numbers at local care homes. A total of 12 lives were reported to the Crown Office as having been lost at Castle View care home in Dumbarton, 11 at the council-run Crosslet House facility in Dumbarton, and 11 at Balquhidder House in Alexandria.
