Covid-19: Call for Health Select Committee to be reconvened

From Morning Report, 6:44 am on 20 August 2020

The National Party wants Parliament's Health Select Committee to be reconvened saying Dr Ashley Bloomfield has questions to answer.

Dr Shane Reti - the party's health spokesperson - has written to the Chair of the Committee Louisa Wall making the case to recall the committee as parliament has not been dissolved.

He argues the second wave of Covid-19 is a serious event that requires a measured and well-thought-out response.

Dr Reti speaks to Corin Dann.
