It’s been quite a week. To cap off the end of oral testimony at the UK Covid Inquiry, this news has just come through. Our complaint has been upheld. So proud of us @cbffjuk.bsky.social
Our complaint against Lord Chadlington has been upheld.
He has been suspended for 1 year. We welcome his decision to step down.

Almost six years after my father’s avoidable death, I will be giving evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry this afternoon. Retelling what happened to my dad is hard, but not learning from the mistakes that were made is far worse.

Our fight for justice continues.
