The Covid Inquiry - what could the UK government have done differently? | BBC Newscast The latest report from the UK covid inquiry has found that the government did “too little, too late” to prevent deaths during the pandemic. Chair of the inquiry, Baroness Hallett acknowleged that Boris Johnson’s government faced “unenviable choices” but said that 23 000 deaths could have been potentially avoided and added that regular rule breaking by officials undermined the public’s trust. BBC health reporter Jim Reed and Dr Catherine Haddon, programme director at the Institute for Government, join Adam to unpick the report. Plus, Adam is joined by Rachel Kyte UK special representative for climate who’s leading the UK’s delegation in Brazil at COP 30. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
