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:

'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
