HUMZA Yousaf has pledged to cooperate fully with a public inquiry examining the Scottish Government response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The First Minister paid tribute to all families who lost loved ones to Covid-19 and said it was "absolutely right" that government decisions were scrutinised.
The SNP leader was speaking on a visit to Glasgow yesterday while a preliminary session of the inquiry was taking place in Edinburgh.
Those who lost relatives to the virus were among the audience at Murrayfield Stadium.
The inquiry opened with an 11-minute video featuring photographs of those who had died from Covid-19.
