The grieving relatives of people who have died from Covid-19 have accused the government of ignoring them, with one saying she feels their concerns are being “swept under the carpet” by ministers, MPs have heard.
Grieving family members said they have written three times to the Prime Minister asking to meet and share their experiences. But they told the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on coronavirus that officials merely told them they were were unable to meet with them “due to the current pandemic”, the PA news agency reports.
Jo Goodman, who lost her father Stuart after he was diagnosed with Covid-19 aged 72, from the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, said:
We wrote to the prime minister three times beginning on 11 June, asking him to meet with bereaved families and also to Matt Hancock, calling for a public inquiry and calling for them to meet with us and hear our experiences.
At first we only received a two-line acknowledgement and eventually a letter saying they are unable to meet with us due to the current pandemic. The fact that they’re able to meet with cycling groups and other groups, it feels as though we are being swept under the carpet.
We really do want to ensure that other people don’t go through this and we think it is really important that bereaved families’ voices are heard.
Charlie Williams, another member the group which represents 1,450 families, told MPs:
I last saw my father via video.
We have so many traumatic stories within our group and none of us are getting support from the government as bereaved families whatsoever. We are trying to help and support each other.
We reached out to the government several times by writing letters. He has pretty much ignored us. We haven’t even received a condolence from our government. We received a two-line reply acknowledging our letter with no condolences. We find this shocking.
We have got so much information to give that could save lives before the second wave and we hope the government will listen to us.

Tory Government awarded a PPE contract worth £252 million to Ayanda Capital Limited, a ‘family office’ owned through a tax haven in Mauritius, with connections to Liz Truss. It is the largest PPE contract we have seen to date.

Millions of respirators will not be used by health workers because they may not fit adequately.

Helping themselves to a good 20pc of emergency government money; not even getting basic specifications correct and spectacularly effing it up; it all going out of our economy; ignoring our specialists; failing to invest in UK companies; failing to enhance our resilience, or was there something else?
Edit: breaking with protocol and insisting they place the orders perchance?

How anyone can read that through and not be anything but appalled at this hideous shower of shysters is genuinely beyond me.
