Covid review to seek submissions from the public

New website publishes more details about investigation

Members of the public will have the chance to make their own submissions to the independent review into government's handling of the Covid pandemic in the spring.

More details about Kate Brunner KC's review have been published on the inquiry's newly-launched website CovidReview.im.

Anyone who wants to contribute documents to be considered by the chairperson will be able to submit them through the website in the coming months.

Members of the review team will also hold town hall meetings to allow the public to talk to those in charge of the investigation.

Meanwhile, the Council of Ministers has issued an instruction to government departments and statutory boards to comply with the review.

Information from the public sector is due to be transferred to the review team this month, while public engagement is due to get underway in June, with a final report due to be submitted by the end of the year.
