Admits lessons can be learnt over pandemic handling
The health minister has said he welcomes 'scrutiny' over government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
David Ashford gave evidence to a Public Accounts Committee this week where he was quizzed about genomic sequencing, the cost of PCR testing and the fallout with a lead scientist.
Committee member Chris Robertshaw told him he believed government should have been more flexible and less 'thin-skinned'.
Mr Ashford said he did realise some things could be improved:
More commuter trains to be offered amid bus strikes
Post Office reports stronger profits but warns of major changes
More than 1,200 abortions on Island since change in law
Teenagers praised for litter-picking efforts
