A UK inquiry found delayed, ineffective pandemic response caused 23,000 avoidable deaths in England.
A UK public inquiry has concluded that the government’s response to the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic was too slow and ineffective, contributing to an estimated 23,000 avoidable deaths in England.
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced criticism for delayed action, inconsistent leadership, and a failure to grasp the crisis, with a lockdown a week earlier potentially cutting deaths by nearly half.
The report cited a toxic environment in Downing Street, poor preparedness, lack of a clear exit strategy, and misleading reassurances from officials.
It found systemic failures across all UK governments, emphasizing that better planning and urgency could have saved lives and reduced economic and social harm.
