Rejected petition Hold a full judge-led enquiry into the UK response to the Covid-19 outbreak

At a suitable (but prompt) time the Government should hold a full judge led enquiry into the UK's handling of the Covid-19 outbreak so that full lessons can be learned and best practice established for any other epidemics that may happen in the future

More details

A number of articles in the press & by expert scientists have said that the initial tactics for containing the outbreak was based on a "herd immunity" model different to WHO advice, & that a "delay" tactic was only brought in when models changed

There have also been reports that NHS staff couldn't get protective equipment needed

In order for full lessons to be learned, a full judge led enquiry able to access evidence should be established as promptly as able once the outbreak is contained
