Hospice UK Parliamentary Event 6th July 2022

Thank you for inviting me to attend the Hospice UK Parliamentary Event on 6 July 2022. 

I am unable to attend the event, but would appreciate any briefing that Hospice UK have on this important topic and I would be interested in meeting with people from my constituency who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Regarding 

The Covid-19 outbreak has been one of the most significant and consequential periods of our lifetimes. It has led to a tragic loss of life in this country and around the world and has given rise to previously unthinkable restrictions to our way of life.

I welcome the announcement by the Prime Minister of a full independent public inquiry on a statutory basis. The inquiry will have full powers under the Inquiries Act 2005 and will have the ability to compel the production of relevant material and to take oral evidence in public under oath. Discussions with the devolved administrations will ensure the inquiry can take into account the full scope of the UK response to the pandemic.
