In a new report published today we have called on the government to urgently set out a timetable for the Covid-19 public inquiry, we believe it is essential that the inquiry publishes its interim findings prior to the next UK general election. telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

In the report we recommend that the government also sets up a new statutory body to oversee the implementation of the inquiry’s recommendations and test future pandemic preparedness.
Moreover, rather than releasing the results at the end of the process, it should be transparent throughout with findings on different elements published as the inquiry progresses, and acted upon where necessary, without delay.
The report also calls for memorialisation arrangements to be launched in parallel with the inquiry, including a permanent memorial monument on Whitehall and an annual Covid Memorial Day.
Chair @LaylaMoran: “The mishandling of the pandemic in the UK has resulted in one of the highest death tolls of any country, and one of the deepest recessions. We owe it to all of those we have lost, their families and loved ones left behind, to find out what went wrong and why.”
“Instead of obfuscating details & keeping voters in the dark, the Government must implement our recommendations & prioritise public trust, by letting the public shape the inquiry’s terms of reference, as well as regularly informing the public on its progress.” @LaylaMoran
