Nageena Khalique KC appointed as leading counsel to represent the Welsh Government in Module 6 of the Covid-19 Inquiry
29th May 2024
We are delighted to announce that Nageena Khalique KC has been appointed as leading counsel to represent the Welsh Government in Module 6 of the Covid-19 Inquiry. This module commenced in December 2023, with public hearings expected to take place in the summer of 2025.
Module 6 will investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on both the public and private adult social care sector in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It will grapple with difficult issues concerning the consequences of government decision-making on those living and working in the care sector, including, but not limited to, hospital discharge to care homes after the introduction of government restrictions, restrictions on visitors to care homes, and the availability of PPE for the care sector. You can find out more information about the scope of Module 6 on the Covid-19 Inquiry website.
The decision was taken by senior officials of the Welsh Government after a competitive interview process. It was based on Nageena’s specific experience and expertise of the care sector, including its structure and the complex policy and legal issues that arise in the area.
