Rishi Sunak’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme was “confusing” for the public and put lives at risk, the UK Covid inquiry has heard.

The British Medical Association (BMA) said the government failed to “provide clear, consistent public health messaging” throughout the pandemic, including the former chancellor’s flagship initiative to help pubs and restaurants.
