Throughout 2021, UK-CTAP were investigating drug candidates for COVID-19. To my knowledge, there has never been full disclosure of who sat on each subgroup panel. We have only the chairs for each panel. The process aimed to be transparent but we only have limited notes on how decisions were reached, never who formulated those decisions.
A recent document, "Therapeutics Advisory Panel for Pandemic Operating Model", suggests on page 3 that panel members should have 'no vested interests' but notes 'there will at times be conflicts of interest that will need to be managed. It is important to surface these conflicts of interest and manage them appropriately'
As such, please provide a full list of the CTAP panel membership throughout the 2021 decision-making process. Please include a full breakdown of membership, including who sat on the subgroup panels. Also please provide any conflicts of interest assessments that were surfaced and properly managed at the time.
