The first report from the covid inquiry says the uk government and devolved nations failed their citizens, and didn t plan well enough for a potential pandemic. It heard from hundreds of witnesses, and concludes that major flaws in the uk s preparations meant that the virus caused more deaths and greater economic damage than it should have. It s calling for a radical reform of the systems put in place. Our health editor hugh pym joins us from central london. Hugh, this is a damning report, tell us more about what it contains? a damning report, more than 200 pages! just the first report of several that the inquiry will produce in a process that will last until 2027.

It doesn t find specific failings by individuals, i think that is not the point.
