Admits lessons can be learnt over pandemic handling
The health minister has said he welcomes 'scrutiny' over government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
David Ashford gave evidence to a Public Accounts Committee this week where he was quizzed about genomic sequencing, the cost of PCR testing and the fallout with a lead scientist.
Committee member Chris Robertshaw told him he believed government should have been more flexible and less 'thin-skinned'.
Mr Ashford said he did realise some things could be improved:
'No change to hand baggage policy' says Steam Packet
Jail for man who tried to gouge a police officer's eyes out
Response to census "exceptionally good" so far, says minister
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
