Taxpayers will bear the costs of Covid for decades - and an inquiry will not come soon enough to learn lessons from the pandemic, MPs have said.
In two new reports, the Public Accounts Committee said No 10 s response to the crisis has exposed UK taxpayers to significant financial risks .
The MPs also attacked government spending on unusable protective kit.
The Department of Health said there were processes to ensure spending gives taxpayers value for money.
In the cross-party reports published on Sunday, the PAC said the taxpayer would be exposed to significant financial risks for decades to come with the estimated cost of the government s measures having already hit £372bn in May.
Taxpayers will be facing the costs of Covid for decades while an inquiry will not come quickly enough to learn the lessons needed from the pandemic, MPs have said.
Two reports from the Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) released on Sunday slammed the Government’s spending on unusable personal protective equipment (PPE) and said a public inquiry expected next year was not soon enough to fix some issues.
The PAC said the taxpayer would be exposed to “significant financial risks for decades to come”, and already the estimated cost of the Government measures had reached £372 billion.
While the committee also “remains concerned that despite spending over £10 billion on supplies, the PPE stockpile is not fit for purpose”.
