This will not be cheap......

Understatement of the year (so far)

A KC, Barrister, management gurus and a public health specialist, billing by the hour, with additional legal counsel as required, doing a review that will (from experience) take a year or more.  It will be high 7-figures I suspect.  And the issue is it will change nothing, and benefit no-one (except the team doing the review).

It was (is) a global pandemic, and nobody did everything right. But most things were done with the best of intention.  And the next pandemic will be different, so even the old 'lessons have been learned' may not be useful.

Should have copied Guernsey and not had one.

Who in their right mind sanctioned this?

We've got teachers depriving our children of an education, a hospital asking patients to stay away for lack of staff, a police force in crisis, an airport that's barely open, doctors surgeries & dentists unable to accept appointments, etc etc and we're about to spunk a wad of cash on this nonsense.

Stop the fucking world.

And come to exactly the same conclusion as everywhere else will. 

Indeed. Lovely as it would be for a damning 200-page report to conclude that Howie and Ashie were a pair of prize turnips, that's not what would happen - and even if it did, it wouldn't be worth the several million pounds it would cost.

It’s a waste of time, it’s not like Quayle would have to pay millions back in damages from his own pocket.

The report should be easy- get your disaster/emergency plan off the back of that dusty shelf and update it with the experience from the pandemic.  Then put it somewhere where it will be easily found for the next emergency/disaster. 

ETA and don't let 'personalities' influence the approach.

Even at this early stage, well ahead of the review, there are those  ready to dismiss  it as being unnecessary and a waste of time and money.

There are others those who  feel that an independent review is appropriate to look at the handling of the crisis, particularly in the early stages.

There is no escaping the facts that people got ill and  died; lives were disrupted; businesses collapsed.

There is a need for an enquiry and such things are never cheap.

However we should be able to expect value for money.It must be profoundly searching and it’s conclusions robust, otherwise it will indeed be a waste.

A fundamental  must be a total ban on the expression “lessons will be learned”.
