BEREAVED families of loved ones killed by Covid-19 are demanding a voice in the government’s upcoming public inquiry over Britain’s pandemic response.
John’s Campaign and the Relatives and Residents Association (R&RA), which both represent bereaved relatives of care home residents who died during the crisis, are seeking to apply for core participant status, as is the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group.
The three groups have urged for work to start immediately on the probe, announced by PM Boris Johnson earlier this year, but bereaved families said they have the impression that little progress is being made.
