Sir Patrick's handwritten notes, which he described as a "form of release", have been handed over to the inquiry's legal team. About 25 short extracts have already been read in open court. The first entry from his diaries focuses on the debate around releasing lockdown restrictions.
Sir Patrick recorded his thoughts most evenings as handwritten notes , saying they were a "form of release" which helped him focus on the next day's challenges. When he appeared in the inquiry's first phase he described them as a "brain dump" and argued that they should not be made public in full as they were never intended for public consumption.
Those notes have been handed over in full to the inquiry's legal team, and about 25 short extracts have already been read in open court when other witnesses were being questioned. The first entry from his diaries we know about so far comes from May 2020, and focuses on the debate around how to release lockdown restrictions.Sir Patrick was responsible for chairing the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), a committee of scientists, mainly from academia, responsible for advising ministers on Covid.
