Bosses at the housing association which did not act before the death of toddler Awaab Ishak failed to grasp the scale of change needed after the tragedy, MPs heard today.
Michael Gove said he had met with bosses at Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) after a coroner ruled Awaab has died as a result of black mould in his home - but was disappointed with their response.
Awaab, two, died in December 2020 after his parents' pleas to deal with the mould in their flat in Rochdale were ignored, a coroner ruled last week.
