Matt Hancock tonight said there will be no immediate change the law to protect doctors from legal action over Covid-19 treatment decisions made under the pressures of the pandemic.

But the Health Secretary said it was not necessary to change the law as medics were not yet being forced to make such critical decisions.
Health groups, including the British Medical Association, argued there was no legal protection for Covid-related issues, such as when there are surges in demand for resources that temporarily exceed supply .
