DO-30 DHSC Emails between ACDP - DHSC

David Osborn made this Freedom of Information request to Department of Health and Social Care

Delivered

Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

On 13 March 2020 two meetings were in progress discussing the COVID-19 crisis.

Meetings of NERVTAG and the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) took place, both having started at 11:00.

The minutes indicate some communications took place between Professor Sir Jonathan van Tam who was at the NERVTAG meeting and Professor Tom Evans who was chairing the ACDP meeting.

Please would you provide copies of any emails which were exchanged between the two professors on that day which concerned the classification of Covid-19 as a High Consequence Infectious Disease.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am not seeking a copy of the formal letter from Professor Evans to Professor Van Tam since this is already in the public domain here:
https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-con...
So please do not send that as your response.

I am seeking any other emails which may have passed between them on that day.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

David Osborn
