There was pandemic drill in 2016, apparently it stated we were found lacking in beds, PPE and resources such as ventilators. It’s nice to see the government responded well to that assessment...
And re an enquiry, I can see it either dragging on so the public forget or it’ll be a botch job ala Grenfell and they’ll try and place the blame on the NHS.
What is the point in preparing for something that might not happen ? I can see the headline. "Government spent many millions on doubling intensive care beds none of which have been used, and vast amounts of PPE that is now out of date after a scaremongering pandemic drill in 2016".
