COMMITTEE BEGINS CHIEF EXEC. INVESTIGATION A cross-party committee has been established following Kate Josephs’ statement about a gathering that happened in her former role at the Government’s Covid-19 Taskforce. The committee began its work last week and is chaired by Cllr Julie Grocutt, with the following members: Cllr Penny Baker, Cllr Douglas Johnson, Cllr Shaffaq Mohammed and Cllr Sioned-Mair Richards. It is proposed that the committee will meet again next week. Cllr Terry Fox, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said:
“I completely understand the strength of feeling that has been expressed in the city since Kate’s statement and apology on January 14. Over the last few days I have been taking advice, and we have now set up a politically proportionate cross-party committee to establish the facts of what has happened. While we cannot yet know how long it will take, we expect this to move at pace. I will be handing the process over to committee chair Cllr Julie Grocutt and the other members of the panel, and we now need to let them carry out this work. I
want to reassure everyone that business continues as usual for the council, and we remain focused on delivering for Sheffield.” This week sees a change to guidleines for businesses and individuals. In response to the changes to Covid-19 guidance coming into effect this week, Mayor Dan Jarvis said: “From this week Government will remove all Plan B restrictions, including the legal requirement to wear a face covering on bus, tram, and train. “While COVID cases are declining, they remain very high in our region at 1,030 per 100,000. Hospital
admissions are around 21 per day, and there are currently 603 Covid-19 patients occupying hospital beds in South Yorkshire. Long Covid remains a real, but poorly understood concern, and the NHS is under greater pressure than ever. “We are on a positive trajectory, and it is right that policy should reflect that. But there is a real question whether the lifting of some of these restrictions – in particular the mask mandate, which imposes a relatively minor burden on individuals and the economy – reflects the reality of the continuing
public health risk. Other areas which are easing restrictions, including every other UK nation, have kept mask mandates in place. “We will continue a cautious approach on our public transport network across South Yorkshire. While the government has removed the formal requirement to wear a face covering, in order to protect the NHS and everyone who relies on our public transport network we strongly encourage their continued use on busses, in our interchanges, and indeed any confined public space.”
