From Manchester Arena Inquiry: Volume 2: Emergency Response, published 3 November 2022.
Recommendation
The Department of Health and Social Care should establish the standard for the level of healthcare services required at events. Consideration should be given to putting that standard on a statutory footing.
In brief (written by this site)
In February 2026, the Department of Health and Social Care reported via the Cabinet Office dashboard that work remained in progress, stating that "a programme has been established and a number of steps are complete" (Cabinet Office, Feb 2026). The UK Government had previously accepted the recommendation in full in November 2025, at which point the department similarly reported that the programme had been established (Cabinet Office response, Nov 2025; Cabinet Office, Nov 2025).
