Following the public consultation process, the Chair of the Inquiry, Baroness Lampard, sent her proposed Terms of Reference to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in mid December 2023.
The Inquiry is currently waiting to receive the final Terms of Reference as set by the Minister.
As soon as these have been received, the Inquiry will publish the Terms of Reference as quickly as possible.
A number of protocols will also be published by the Inquiry shortly after the Terms of Reference have been set. These include a Protocol on Core Participants and a Protocol on Legal Expenses.
