Information about public submissions to the Royal Commission
Public submissions to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned opened on Thursday 8 February 2024 and are currently closed.
Thank you to everyone who shared their experience of the COVID-19 pandemic with us. The submissions we have received will be considered alongside other interviews conducted and evidence received to form the Inquiry’s final report.
The opportunity to provide feedback on the terms of reference for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned is also now closed.
As you may know, the new Government has signalled that as part of its coalition agreements, it would like to review and consult on an expanded terms of reference for the Inquiry. The Inquiry welcomes the opportunity to work with the new Government on what an expanded and clarified remit for the Inquiry might look like.
All feedback received will be provided to the Department of Internal Affairs, who will provide advice to the New Zealand Government ahead of any changes made to the terms of reference for the Inquiry. These changes may mean the Inquiry will investigate different areas of the COVID-19 response.
We will provide updated information regarding any changes to our terms of reference as part of our regular communications. This includes stories on the News section of our website and in our monthly newsletter, the COVID-19 Inquiry Pānui.
