Top scientists and health professionals are calling for an urgent public inquiry into the Government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
They warn that lessons must be learned from the handling of the deadly disease before a second spike or thousands more lives will be needlessly lost.
The experts branded the death toll in care homes a “scandal” and attacked the Government for failing to deal adequately with the first wave of Covid-19.
More than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling for an independent inquiry launched by campaign group March for Change.
