The findings also raise serious concerns over how hospitals managed patient discharges, suggesting potential risks to public health and safety. With recommendations expected to shape future crisis responses, the inquiry’s conclusions could force a reckoning over accountability and preparedness. The report’s focus on these two critical areas underscores persistent gaps in pandemic planning and execution.
The sixth report from Covid inquiry criticises the lack of PPE and the way patients were discharged from hospital.
