YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The COVID inquiry has started, with the first part looking into how resilient and prepared the country was for a pandemic.

Former Conservative prime minister David Cameron, ex-chancellor George Osborne, health secretary during COVID, Matt Hancock, and the UK government's chief medical adviser, Chris Whitty, have given evidence so far.

On this Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson is joined by our health correspondent Ashish Joshi to summarise what's been said so far.

We also hear from Dr Chaand Nagpaul, former chair of the BMA UK Council from 2017-22 - who represented the medical profession during the pandemic - who explores how prepared, or ill-prepared, the UK was for COVID.
