Communication from Liverpool Council could have been better around Covid-19 according to senior councillors.
Members of the local authority’s audit committee admitted that they felt during the onset of the pandemic, engagement from officers could have been improved as the city wrestled with how to deal with the virus. Committee chair Cllr Kris Brown said while he felt Liverpool’s response to coronavirus had been excellent, lessons could be learned.
He said: “Around the women’s hospital incident, I felt the engagement with elected members was actually very well done. On a personal level, I didn’t feel that so much with covid, in the earlier days.
