Coalition of groups calls on government to set up body to monitor whether recommendations are acted upon

A coalition of people affected by the worst disasters and scandals of the past decade is calling on Keir Starmer to create an independent body to monitor recommendations from public inquiries so that they cannot be “left to gather dust”.

The Covid-19 Bereaved Families For Justice, Grenfell United and Factor 8, which represents victims of the infected blood scandal, have joined the charity Inquest and 36 other groups to urge the prime minister to act. Others include campaigners on Hillsborough, mental health deaths and disabilities.
