BREAKING: 'I am profoundly sorry for the impact that it had, I’m profoundly sorry for each death that has occurred.' Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said he is ‘profoundly sorry’ for each death caused by Covid-19.
Giving evidence to the inquiry exploring the UK’s preparedness for a pandemic, he said: ‘I am profoundly sorry for the impact that it had, I’m profoundly sorry for each death that has occurred.
‘But it is honest and heartfelt, and I’m not very good at talking about my emotions and how I feel. But that is honest and true. ‘And that we have the systems in place ready to do that, because I’m worried that they’re being dismantled as we speak.’ Doctrinal failures had ‘consequences’ in areas such as ‘stockpiles, testing, antivirals, contact tracing, and much more widely’ when Covid-19 struck.
