A grieving son believes he may never get justice for his father three years after his death from Covid. Bill Jolly, 68, is furious that his dad, William, was taken into hospital with a head injury but sent back to his care home with coronavirus.

Mitchell said she believes the UK’s preparedness for the Covid-19 pandemic was diminished by “years of changes to critical establishments and the effects of Brexit”. She added that despite beliefs the UK was prepared for a pandemic, “it quickly and terrifyingly became clear that we were not”. “Their grief was obvious to all. It is on their behalf, and on behalf of the millions who suffered and continue to suffer in different ways as a result of the pandemic that I intend to answer the following three questions.

Bill was also told his dad had tested positive for Covid so asked the hospital to inform the care home because his dad shared a room with his mum. The next day, Bill was told his father had a fourth fall but was going to be discharged.
