'I also understand why, for some, it will be hard to take that apology from me. I understand that,' the former health secretary said. He said the focus was to plan for the consequences of a disaster: 'Can we buy enough body bags, where are we going to bury the dead? That was completely wrong.' The Covid inquiry was set up to understand what happened during the pandemic and the lessons learned. No one will be found guilty or innocent.
