CIVIL service chief Simon Case has stepped back from his role due to a “private medical matter”.The Cabinet Office confirmed Case’s absence, which comes just days after indiscreet WhatsApp messages during the pandemic were released by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
He had been expected to give evidence to the Covid inquiry in the coming weeks, after WhatsApp messages disclosed some of his private thoughts about Boris Johnson’s government during the pandemic. Case , who was made Cabinet Secretary in September 2020 having been permanent secretary in Number 10 before then, wrote that he was “not sure I can cope” amid apparent frustration at how the pandemic was being handled in Government.
He also admitted he had an “informal conversation” about potential roles at a royal charity for Johnson after a prompt from No 10.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
