Today, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry published its Module 6 report, examining the impact of the pandemic on the publicly and privately funded adult social care sector across the UK.
Adam Payter and Megan Millar represented the Care Professional Organisation (formerly known as the National Association of Care & Support Workers) and were instructed by Claire Lipworth and Helen Boniface at Hogan Lovells Cadwalader.
NACAS gave evidence through its founder, Paul Featherstone, and Julie Parkinson, a long-standing domiciliary care provider and NACAS member. Both provided powerful evidence on the realities frontline care professionals faced during the pandemic, many of whom felt overlooked, under-supported, and, at times, blamed.
Kate Wilkinson KC also represented the Care Quality Commission in Module 6.
