'Transparency of data has been one of the biggest casualties of the coronavirus pandemic.'

The former head of health analysis at the Office for National Statistics has told talkRADIO how "transparency of data has been one of the biggest causalities" of the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking to Mike Graham, Jamie Jenkins said the government have not paid enough attention to the specifics, stating that there is a north/south divide when it comes to excess deaths.

"The data and the evidence suggest some parts of the country is lower. Some it's higher. You target your policy where you know it's higher.

"You've got to look at the data and have a proportionate response to the virus."
