What the Office for Statistics Regulation wrote
“As you are already aware, we have been looking into use of unpublished data quoted in The Times on 4 December, stating “more than 90 per cent of Covid sufferers requiring the most specialist care are unvaccinated”.”
“This quick response meant that you addressed the issues and resolved the concerns that we and others had.”
“Whilst we understand that on this occasion it was a genuine mistake which was quickly corrected, I would like to re-iterate the importance of ensuring any figures referred to publicly are made available.”
