The second half of a PHE review is said to have not been released and contains information that could help protect BAME Britons.
The government published the BAME review this week, but is accused of holding recommendations back. File picLabour's shadow health secretary has accused the government of"covering up vital recommendations" that could help protect black, Asian and minority ethnic people from COVID-19.
Jonathan Ashworth's criticisms come after Whitehall sources told Sky News the recommendations from a Public Health England review were"held back" by the government, adding"ministers have had this element of the report". On Tuesday, the government issued the data element of the long awaited review, led by PHE national director for health and wellbeing Professor Kevin Fenton, following suggestions from sources it was set to be delayed because of the Black Lives Matter movement.Data collected by PHE was published - but a"qualitative assessment", including the recommendations for the government, was not.
Mr Ashworth told Sky News:"We know BAME people are more likely to die from COVID and more likely to fall seriously ill with COVID. This report needs to be published in full.
