Additionally, my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is looking carefully at the legislation around future public health emergencies. As I say, he is drawing on lessons learned from Covid-19 to ensure that we are prepared for the next pandemic. One of the lessons we learned through the whole experience is the value of local, regional and national government at all levels and all the different agencies working together across the piece, making sure that all that experience comes together to make the best possible decisions, with children at the heart of them, so that so many young people do not suffer again—as they did and have continued to do.
