Civil servant raised concerns years before Covid over government cooperation on pandemic plans.
But, in a potential nod to the focus on flu rather than coronavirus or other infectious diseases, the civil servant said "we were working on a set of assumptions, and those plans would have been based on those assumptions"., dated 6 July of 2018, was sent to several other senior civil servants including Chief Medical Officer Sir Frank Atherton and Andrew Goodall, then chief executive of the Welsh NHS but now permanent secretary to the Welsh government, its most senior official.
Referring to the Department for Health , the email read: "While the pressures were 'noted', the approach whereby Welsh government simply waits until DH produces guidance which is then revised for Wales was putting considerable pressure on DH to get the products completed in the first place." "The pace of development of the review and guidance is therefore at risk, so this needs to be exposed to ministers along with the resource issues."The email from Reg Kilpatrick was sent to several senior civil servants.
He said some of the concern had been around work on a UK parliamentary bill for pandemic flu, which had been "completed on time to enable the legislation to be brought into force when it needed to be".
