"In their case for a sustainable UK strategy for COVID-19, Deepti Gurdasani and colleagues recommend “restoration of an adequate health and safety inspectorate”. We do not believe that the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) should, like Public Health England, be made a scapegoat for lack of ministerial direction but rather that the HSE should be restored the wherewithal to fulfil its mandate."
