Closed Release the findings of Exercise Cygnus from 2016 regarding a pandemic in the UK

Closed on

In 2016 the British Government carried out an exercise to measure the impact of a serious influenza pandemic on the UK. The full findings of this exercise have not been published. Parliament should order that the results of this exercise be published and made available to the public.

The Covid-19 outbreak has taken thousands of lives across the UK, including those on the NHS front-line. It is vitally important to know what warnings the Government were given and whether more could have been done to reduce the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, in turn reducing the number of UK deaths.
