A spokesperson for the Care Inspectorate said: "The Sheriff Court has ordered an interim suspension of the care provider's registration at Singleton Park Care Home, Lockerbie to take effect from 30 September 2021.

"The Care Inspectorate is working closely with partners at Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership and the Scottish Government to ensure residents of the home experience a safe transition to new care arrangements.

“We have taken this legal action is to ensure people experienced an improvement in their care following serious concerns raised during an inspection. The suspension of the provider's registration will allow for transition to alternative care arrangements.

"A further hearing is expected in due course."
