Introduce Global Central Database Peer Review System For Science-led Policies

The Government's Covid 19 Policy Responses are a prime example of the problem. Health and social care policies such as this affect everyone. Evidence continues to emerge which brings huge question and doubt as to whether the science-informed, science-led policies are empirically correct.

We understand that you are concerned with how current Government policy is informed by the science, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do or whether this is something the Government is responsible for.

The Government is responsible for UK policy decisions and how it makes these, but it is not responsible for taking action at a global level. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review and reform how science informs UK policy, if that is what you want to happen.
