I was always taught that ‘drains up" reviews must be de-personalised and not pre-judged, and ask "what went wrong", not "who did that wrong thing" - learn from mistakes, and if people did make wrong decisions, understand the reasoning behind those decisions, because as jonbxx said above, it’s rare that people actively do things wrong, it’s often unforeseen or changing circumstances.

You assume that no information was available and that the UK did not know what was coming. We had the luxury of a number of weeks before we became Italy. We literally could see into the future.
The advisors who came up with the initial Herd Immunity idea that delayed action for at least a week. Who are they and are they still advising the Government? The people that deliberately ignored the opportunity to get onboard the EU-wide procurement scheme for Ventilators and PPE, why did they make this decision and they still making similar decisions? They got it wrong then and they could get it wrong again.
When the WHO said the only way to combat this virus is to test, test and test again. Why did the UK choose to ignore this advice? What was the reasoning behind this.
Without challenge, the same mistakes can and probably will be made. You need to learn from your mistakes quickly and that process is to question, analyse, conclude and then act.
