The Scottish government's investigation into the country's response to the pandemic has seen costs skyrocket to over £29 million, with no end date in sight. Critics argue the inquiry is unnecessary given the ongoing UK-wide probe.
The Scottish Covid Inquiry , established in March 2022, has no projected final date and its costs have escalated to over £29 million. Daily expenses reach around £32,000, and the current cost per person per day is nearly £5.50. Critics argue the inquiry is unnecessary due to the UK Covid-19 inquiry, which already includes a module on Scotland’s response. Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and First Secretary Alister Jack have provided evidence to the UK inquiry.
Despite the high costs, the Scottish inquiry committee maintains it will continue for as long as needed to ensure a thorough, independent investigation
