Lawyer asks Covid probe for clarity on when it will explore mental health impact

It comes after inquiry chairwoman Baroness Heather Hallett ruled the inquiry would not explore the issue as part of Module 3.

The third module of the Covid-19 Inquiry will explore the impact of the pandemic on healthcare systems, patients and health care workers.

After consideration, Baroness Hallett ruled that the portion of the inquiry “cannot include the issue of the impact of the pandemic on adult mental health services within its broad provisional outline of scope and the hearing time available”. Mind has joined forces with the likes of Rethink Mental Illness, the Centre for Mental Health, the Association of Mental Health Providers and other groups to urge Baroness Hallett to reconsider her ruling.

“In any event, we respectfully invite the inquiry to confirm in which module this will be investigated.”
