Britain’s former health secretary says he understands why his apology might be hard to accept
He added that having pandemic plans focusing on flu was not the central flaw.
“And all I can do is ensure that this inquiry gets to the bottom of it, and that for the future, we learn the right lessons, so that we stop a pandemic in its tracks much, much earlier.“And that we have the systems in place ready to do that, because I’m worried that they’re being dismantled as we speak.”
Earlier, the inquiry heard there “isn’t a day that goes by” when Mr Hancock does not think of those who died from coronavirus.
