Content

David Osborn, health and safety consultant and member of the Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance (CATA), has given an account of CATA’s journey through the Covid-19 Public Inquiry to the Safer Healthcare Biosafety Network (SHBN).

This has been in two parts:

• His first presentation was delivered on 3 December 2024, just as the public hearings for module 3 (impact of the pandemic on healthcare systems) were drawing to a close.
• In this second presentation (28 March 2025) David updates the group on CATA's current position and summarises their final submissions to Baroness Hallett.

The detail in CATA’s closing submissions to the Inquiry may be found in its written statement at this link.

Links are provided in the last two slides of the attached PDF file to CATA’s letters to the Chief Nursing Officers and Ministers.

It should be noted that, as at 19 May 2025:

• No reply has been received from the Chief Nursing Officers to CATA’s letter of 4 March.
• No reply has been received from the Minister (Rt Hon Ashley Dalton MP) to CATA’s letter of 18 March.

CATA has therefore written again to the Rt Hon Ashley Dalton MP. The letter is attached below:
