Closed petition Set up a Royal Commission into Government planning and handling of pandemics

This petition calls for the UK Government to set up a Royal Commission, with the widest possible remit to examine and report on the effectiveness of UK Government crisis management and pandemic planning in general, and the strategic and operational management of the Covid-19 epidemic in the UK.

More details

It is the perception of many that the UK Governments response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been less than optimal in any aspect.
But for the dedication of NHS frontline and Care Home staff, and the common sense applied by the UK public the currently difficult, painful yet manageable situation could have become a tragedy of nationwide proportions in each of the four UK nations.

The Administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also have had issues that need scrutiny and correction.
