Covid inquiry report names politicians for crisis role

The official Covid inquiry report criticizes UK's lack of pandemic preparedness, attributing failures to institutional issues and some politicians. Matt Hancock, Health Secretary from 2018-2021, and Jeremy Hunt, Health Secretary from 2012-2018, are highlighted for not challenging the 2011 pandemic strategy. David Cameron and George Osborne's austerity measures are indirectly linked to health inequalities. Boris Johnson and Theresa May are criticized for potentially impeding pandemic planning with Brexit preparations.
