A FIRE safety guide for care homes issued after a fatal blaze has been revised following a public consultation.
The initial guidance was drawn up after the 2004 fire at Rosepark care home in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, that claimed the lives of 14 residents.
The document was praised by a sheriff during a fatal accident inquiry into the tragedy in 2011.
Community safety minister Roseanna Cunningham said the Scottish Government had revisited the guidance to make it more user friendly.
