In a legal challenge, the Good Law Project and Runnymede Trust have accused the government of appointing people personally or politically connected with senior members of the Conservative Party without an open competition or proper process. This was indirect discrimination (contrary to the Equality Act 2010), they said, and a breach of the public sector equality duty. Dido Harding, appointed head of the NHS Test and Trace service and then interim head of the National Institute for Health Protection, is named in the claim. She is married to the Conservative MP John Penrose (both left ). Mike Coupe, Gareth Williams, Ben Stimson, and Paul de Laat, all appointed to senior positions at NHS Test and Trace, have also been named. Halima Begum, Runnymede Trust director, said, “When a recruitment process is not open and fair, it discriminates against those who are not connected to the decision makers. This has a serious detrimental impact on equality and on the diversity of the people at the top of organisations. This is always important, but even more so now so many lives depend on it. We are calling on the government to ensure a proper process is followed and for NHS bodies to be truly representative of the people they protect.” Elisabeth Mahase , The BMJ Cite this as: BMJ 2020;371:m4254 Covid-19 in England.

  • Spotlight Briefing Note
    Spotlight briefing Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic Ten questions on the next phase of the UK’s COVID-19 response October 2020 Overview • There are a number of questions which remain as to the next phase of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. • What values have informed the most recent decisions on COVID-19 restrictions? Public health measures involve a number of challenging trade-offs between different rights and interests. Alongside the scientific evidence, it must be made clear which values are guiding decisions about which, and whose, interests take priority, and why. • Is the government considering the use of “immunity certificates” in the next phase of the response? Any approach which relies on a system of ‘immunity certification’ raises a number of ethical questions concerning individual rights versus the public interest, and social justice. If the Government is considering such a system, there must be a robust and open debate now. • How will development of an effective COVID-19 vaccine affect uptake - and what should be done? Issues around the speed of development, changes in regulation, and communication with the public may all affect public trust and uptake of any vaccine. Consideration about how to address these issues should take place now. • What discussions are taking place on setting priorities for vaccine allocation within the UK? There is a range of different values which can be taken into consideration when setting priorities for access to limited doses of a vaccine. What values and interests will guide decision-making in this area must be clearly set out. • How will the UK ensure a sustained commitment to global solidarity? The global nature of the pandemic shows the importance of working as part of a global effort.

  • Written Evidence from Spotlight on Corruption1 (PGG18) the Public
    Written evidence from Spotlight on Corruption1 (PGG18) The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee Propriety of governance in light of Greensill inquiry Introduction The revelations arising from the Greensill affair and its fallout, coming alongside other recent and ongoing scandals, have exposed significant weaknesses in the UK system for managing conflicts of interest, lobbying, and business appointments. This is a vital opportunity to bring the UK’s standards landscape up to date, and to ensure that integrity and ethics in government are regulated in a way that befits a modern democracy. Taking action to strengthen the UK’s integrity and ethics framework would benefit the UK by helping to: build trust in politicians and government; strengthen the stability, predictability and attractiveness of the UK as a place to do business; give the UK greater credibility on the international stage in promoting democracy and good governance; and implement outstanding recommendations made by international bodies such as the UN and Council of Europe about how the UK can improve its integrity and ethics framework to prevent and tackle corruption. Key Recommendations 1. Integrity and Ethics legislation. The government should consult on the introduction of an Integrity and Ethics Bill, by the spring of 2022, which gives legislative effect to: the Law Commission’s recommendations on the introduction of a corruption in public office offence; recommendations made by international bodies to put ACOBA and the Independent Advisor on Ministerial Interests on a statutory footing; recommendations that are likely to be made by the Committee on Standards in Public Life’s Standards Matters 2.0 review in the Autumn of 2021; and recommendations likely to be made from both the Boardman review and parliamentary committees such as PACAC, including legislative reform to the Lobbying Act.

  • NHS Test and Trace: the Journey So Far
    Health Foundation long read (PDF version) 23 September 2020 NHS Test and Trace: the journey so far Adam Briggs, Deborah Jenkins, Caroline Fraser Contents Key points 3 Introduction 4 What is NHSTT? 5 Challenges facing NHSTT 17 What next for NHSTT? 23 Conclusion 25 NHS Test and Trace: the journey so far 2 Key points • Testing for COVID-19 to identify cases and close contacts of those who test positive, alongside asking those close contacts to isolate, is essential to control the spread of the disease. • NHS Test and Trace launched on 28 May 2020 and although progress has been made, it is not yet the ‘world-beating’ contact tracing programme that was promised, with ongoing challenges around test capacity and contacting both cases and their contacts. • Despite significant investment, only between 50% and 60% of contacts of known cases are being advised to isolate, yet the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has suggested that for a contact tracing system to be effective, it needs to trace around 80% of contacts of an index case. • As cases in England rise, the government needs to urgently learn from the journey so far to ensure that tests are available for those who need them and that policies aimed at improving contact tracing do not further exacerbate the inequalities already exposed by COVID-19. NHS Test and Trace: the journey so far 3 Introduction As of 22 September, over 340,000 people in England have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, with more than 37,000 confirmed deaths. While there is currently no approved vaccine, testing for COVID-19 to identify possible close contacts of those who test positive, and asking those close contacts to isolate, remains crucial for the control of the disease.

  • Letter Tony Nikolic Wrote to New South Wales Minister
    4. I am instructed to send this letter to sitting Members of Parliament (State and Federal). 5. The most recent Orders from the NSW State Government on Airport workers at Kingsford Smith Airport (Sydney) has caused a number of airport employees (including pregnant and single wage families/adults) to go on stress leave because they have been given an ultimatum to get the vaccine or potentially lose their positions. The amount of emails and calls from airline industry staff to my office is most concerning and I am instructed to make this representation on their behalf because they believe their elected representatives are not taking notice. 6. We are also mindful that the airport staff, front-line workers, pilots, police, paramedics and medical staff are also seeking the protection of all rights and responsibilities pursuant to Australian and International laws. 7. There are people taking sick leave from airport duties due to the mental health related issues and pressures being placed on them to take a vaccine. We understand that that the Australian Government cannot guarantee the vaccines safety in the short, mid and long term, but yet the NSW Government are issuing Orders for companies to vaccinate all staff, whilst Federal Parliamentarians do not question the validity or acknowledge this growing concern in electorates all over Australia. 8. I am instructed those workers are not allowed on Commonwealth airport property effective as of 6 July 2021 as a result of State Orders. The workers are not only feeling the pressures imposed upon them with speed and stealth at which the Orders were passed, but they are also concerned about being targeted if they speak out.
