Ãå±±Ö±²¥ÂÖ¼é response to the publication of the final report into the death of Dawn Sturgess: Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Dawn Sturgess, and all those impacted by the tragic events of 2018.  We recognise all those affected by the Novichok incident, and the lasting impact such an event has had on victims, their loved ones and the community of Ãå±±Ö±²¥ÂÖ¼é. We welcome the findings of the report and are committed to learning from its conclusions and how we can continue to strengthen our response to rare and complex incidents. Continuously learning is essential to ensuring public safety and improving resilience in the future. We will carefully review the recommendations, and remain open and willing to engage with partners, experts and the community as we do so.
