Police 'failed' in their response to the Manchester Arena attack in 2017, an inquiry hears.
Mr Wilson said the "people who should have been speaking to each other weren't speaking to each other"
Three experts told the Manchester Arena Inquiry there had been a "significant failure" in Greater Manchester Police's emergency response to the attack, which killed 22 people on 22 May 2017. A "major failure" of the co-ordinated response was emergency service commanders not meeting together at the scene at an early stage.
He said that although there was some joint working between GMP, British Transport Police and the ambulance service within the arena foyer, the co-ordinated response by emergency services overall "didn't work at all" and it was a "significant omission" by GMP not to declare a major incident until two and a half hours after the explosion.
