I entirely agree. Let me be blunt. I was Minister for Health at the start of the Covid pandemic. I am very proud of some of the decisions that were made. I am also very much aware that as I look back on some decisions, such as the advice on the use of face masks and antigen tests, there absolutely is no doubt that there are learnings and lessons and things that might have been done differently.
