The latest evidence to the Covid Inquiry included the revelation that the former health secretary Matt Hancock wanted to decide 鈥渨ho should live or die鈥� in the event of the NHS becoming overwhelmed. That was the testimony given by Sir Simon Stevens, who led NHS England until 2021.

His was followed by the country鈥檚 most senior health official, Sir Christopher Wormald, who said that the government was 鈥渁t least a week late鈥� in imposing restrictions on society at the beginning of the crisis.
