The UK Covid-19 Inquiry report is expected to reveal the government's lack of preparation for a coronavirus pandemic, focusing more on flu, austerity measures, and Brexit, with key figures under scrutiny.
Former prime minister Boris Johnson and other politicians and health experts were witnesses in the Resilience and Preparedness module of the inquiry, where failures in planning and preparedness were highlighted.
Lord Cameron acknowledged the mistake of prioritizing flu preparation over a coronavirus-like pandemic, defending austerity cuts despite criticism for NHS underfunding.
Matt Hancock and Jeremy Hunt, former health secretaries, admitted to flaws in the government's approach, with Hunt mentioning groupthink limiting pandemic response strategies.
