A secret Whitehall document condemning the UK's "insufficient" preparedness for a health pandemic such as the coronavirus outbreak has finally been published in full.
The analysis, based on a 2016 simulation of a flu pandemic, codenamed Exercise Cygnus, identified major issues with how well the UK was prepared.
The document identified a "lack of joint tactical-level plans" for a public health emergency, with demand for services outstripping local capacity.
The 57-page Public Health England report, leaked to The Guardian, also identified concerns that the social care system wouldn't be able to provide the level of support needed in the event of a serious outbreak.
