Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the effectiveness of the Australian government's response to covid-19.

In April 2020, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Cabinet Office established the International Comparators Joint Unit to maximise the Government’s ability to learn from other countries on COVID-19. The Unit uses updates from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s network and open-source data to produce analysis on international responses, including Australia, to inform the Government’s decision-making.
