Last week's Covid Inquiry report into care was a devastating verdict on Matt Hancock's failures during the pandemic. His response: silence. He doesn't care. Show him we still do; sign our petition to hold him accountable. c.org/ysmQvTmpFt

🚨 Covid bereaved families call for Matt Hancock to be removed from Privy Council @cbffjuk.bsky.social said Hancock’s removal would be an “important symbolic first step” towards accountability. Removal would strip Hancock of the title “Right Honourable” Story ⤵️ www.politics.co.uk/2026/10/covi...

Thank you @andyburnham.bsky.social for agreeing to meet with us. We look forward to discussing urgency to implement #covidinquiry recommendations in full to ensure no-one experiences what we have. It will make our country stronger & resilient to whaever shocks hit us. @cbffjuk.bsky.social

Thank you, Prime Minister for highlighting how vulnerable our care sector was going into the pandemic. @andyburnham.bsky.social will you meet with bereaved families to discuss turning the Covid Inquiry's care report into real change?

Urgent: the government is soon to decide whether to give the green light to Rosebank, a move that would lock us into decades more climate-wrecking oil. @friends-earth.bsky.social tool helped me ask my MP to say no to new oil and gas – will you do the same? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/deman...

The Covid Inquiry's report on social care will be published tomorrow at 12pm. For bereaved families, this is one of the most important modules of the Inquiry. Here are the key issues we want it to address. 🧵 1/10

Why we've launched a Covid Inquiry recommendations tracker - the first of its kind in the UK www.covidfamiliesforjustice.org/latestupdate...

The PPE scandal has been exposed. Why has almost nobody been held responsible? Our member @profnaomifulop.bsky.social writes for Patient Safety Learning’s hub on the VIP Lane and bereaved families’ fight for accountability. www.pslhub.org/learn/corona...

👀 Read my blog on the PPE scandal & how we’re still fighting for accountability. Without true accountability, we won’t be protected for the future. @cbffjuk.bsky.social @lawrencedunhill.bsky.social

The PPE scandal has been exposed. Now we need accountability - a new blog by Naomi Fulop, board member of @cbffjuk.bsky.social, on the hub today. www.pslhub.org/learn/corona...

How do we know whether the recommendations from the Covid-19 Inquiry are actually translating into change? Featured on the hub today, a tracker created by @cbffjuk.bsky.social to monitor the UK Government’s progress in implementing the inquiry's recommendations. www.pslhub.org/learn/invest...

We’ll use these ratings to pressure the Cabinet Office & others to make better progress & update our ratings as further action is taken - or not This is crucial to ensuring the country is better prepared for the next pandemic or national crisis & losing fewer lives 9/

Govt has so far responded to the first 3 inquiry modules, including 36 recommendations. In our first assessment, we judge 11 recommendations to be on track for implementation, moderate progress on 13, little progress on 6, and 6 have been rejected. 8/

We give the Govt’s response and action against each Recommendation one of four ratings: on track, moderate progress, little progress or rejected These will be updated as actions are taken, or promises are broken. That will mean keeping the tracker going for years, not months 7/

We shouldn't have to act as a watchdog for public inquiry recommendations, which is why we’re supporting calls for a formal National Oversight Mechanism for public inquiries, to hold Govt accountable - but until that’s in place, we will do what we can ourselves. 6/

Bereaved families have spent years reliving the worst moments of their lives to help establish what went wrong during the pandemic. The recommendations are the opportunity to make sure the country is better prepared next time, and fewer lives are lost. 5/

Once an inquiry has finished and the headlines move on, there is often little pressure on ministers and public bodies to follow through on what was promised. Recommendations get delayed, watered down or forgotten. But we cannot allow that to happen with the Covid Inquiry. 4/

There is very good reason for doing this. Over the last three decades, around 30 public inquiries into healthcare scandals have made more than 1,400 recommendations, but researchers found just one in five were ever fully implemented. 3/

The Tracker provides a comprehensive, independent & human assessment of the Inquiry’s outcomes, rating the Govt response to every recommendation. It will be continually updated as new reports are published and reforms are delivered or fail to materialise. 2/

Bereaved families fought hard to get the Covid Inquiry set up -but what really matters is the changes it leads to That’s why we’ve today launched an Inquiry Recommendations Tracker - the 1st of its kind - to monitor & assess the implementation phase www.covidfamiliesforjustice.org/tracker-home 1/

Today, the Hillsborough Law has its second reading in the House of Lords. Covid-bereaved families know the cost of being forced to fight powerful institutions for the truth. We stand with everyone who fought for this law. Peers must pass it in full.

Chris Wormald’s failures during the pandemic “obscured reality and the need for more action”, according to the Covid Inquiry. He was rewarded with a peerage Now we learn he received a record £500,000 payout after being sacked. Reward for failure. www.ft.com/content/6913...

Congratulations to everyone who helped secure this permanent Covid memorial in Accrington. Every community deserves a place where people can gather to remember those they lost. hyndburnbc.gov.uk/news/covid-1...

You can read the full report here: covid19.public-inquiry.uk/modules/proc... And our reaction statement here: www.covidfamiliesforjustice.org/latestnews/m... 8/8

The Serious Fraud Office told the Inquiry that 194 of the referrals were closed after early assessment, due to ‘lack of sufficient intelligence' The other was closed after a 2-year probe. 7/8

This is a massive understatement. Of 195 ‘suspected fraud’ referrals relating to PPE & test kits made to the Serious Fraud Office, the Inquiry said ZERO prosecutions were pursued. 6/8

Despite this, the Inquiry found that ‘investigation and prosecution of offences in connection with suspected procurement-related fraud has been rare’ 5/8

Govt estimates suggest £324 million was lost to PPE fraud - around 9% of the typical value of PPE used. (Note that another >£9 billion was wasted through over-ordering) 4/8
