Admits lessons can be learnt over pandemic handling
The health minister has said he welcomes 'scrutiny' over government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
David Ashford gave evidence to a Public Accounts Committee this week where he was quizzed about genomic sequencing, the cost of PCR testing and the fallout with a lead scientist.
Committee member Chris Robertshaw told him he believed government should have been more flexible and less 'thin-skinned'.
Mr Ashford said he did realise some things could be improved:
Some trailers got 'lost' during recent backlog of freight at Heysham
Police told to reassess FOI response
Census support available from next week
Mobile classroom needed to 'alleviate' pressure at Henry Bloom Primary School
The Guild returns today
