The chair of the UK’s official Covid inquiry has vowed to recognise the losses suffered by bereaved families – despite their own concerns about being marginalised by the process.
Inquiry chair Heather Hallett dedicated much of her opening remarks as public evidence-giving got underway to the representation of those whose lives were lost or altered as a result of the pandemic.
“[T]hose who suffered hardship and loss have and will always be at the very heart of the inquiry,” she said.
