To hold a full public enquiry into the UK response to the corona virus outbreak.
Exercise Cygnus was a simulation exercise carried out by the Government in October 2016 warned of insufficient, doctors, ventilators, PPE and beds. The findings of the report were not published.
The government must explain its inactions at a time when all people were focused on was Brexit.
The government ignore the 2016 Cygnus finding and chose instead to pour money into projects such as HS2 and Brexit.
Why findings were not invested in.
Why only hospital deaths have been reported.
The virus started in late 2019 and yet the UK only reacted in March 2020 when it reached Italy.
A shocking lack of support for the NHS with key supplies such as, PPE and ventilators.
Aged retired doctors and nurses being called back into service, even though they are in the high risk group.
