Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Use of Private Hospitals
Mr. Martin Varley:
Indemnity was removed in two respects. First, in terms of pro bono, I found out at 6 o'clock on a Friday evening on a bank holiday weekend. I had to inform my members at 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock by the time I got my communication out. This created huge problems.
Likewise for specimen reporting, I became aware of it after the event.
