The inquiry will focus on the health and social impacts of the pandemic
- Witness Testimony Barriers: The Scottish National Party (SNP) has allegedly made it challenging for witnesses to share their testimony in a public enquiry about its pandemic management.
- Travel Costs Concern: The Scottish Covid Inquiry won’t cover travel costs for attendees to the preliminary sessions in Edinburgh, raising barriers for potential witnesses.
- Virtual Attendance Limitations: Those attending the hearings virtually will not be permitted to join the discussion, limiting the range of voices in the inquiry.
- Venue Ventilation Issues: Ventilation concerns at the venue add to the obstacles, casting doubt on the accessibility and fairness of the inquiry.
