Review into Island's pandemic response will start 'gathering evidence'

The team undertaking the independent review into the Manx Government's handling of the Covid pandemic will start gathering evidence from November.

Chair of the review Kate Brunner will be assisted by Barrister Alex West, Director of Operations Paul Fletcher and experts in governance and public health.

The review will invite submissions from members of the public, with details on how to do this to be published in due course.

It's stated the purpose of the review is not to apportion blame but to identify good practice, lessons learned, and to make recommendations for change, if any is required.

The full report and recommendations will be completed by December 2023.
