Chair appointed to lead review into pandemic response

A chair has been appointed of the independent review into the government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kate Brunner QC will lead the project which will look into decisions made by the government between December 2019 and the end of September 2021.

Ms Brunner is due to come to the Island in September to begin her review.

She'll also deliver recommendations to ensure this knowledge is fed into current working practices, and to improve the way Government deals with any future emergency response to a pandemic.
