Channel 4 say they have seen a leaked letter from public health chiefs outlining a series of concerns around plans to routinely test care home staff.
The first minister says the chief medical officer has replied to the letter in question and says she would not characterise it as a "falling out", while stressing that there are different scientific and clinical opinions on the best way to handle the crisis.
