The principle of ‘do no harm’ is fundamental to medical good practice and embraced by all health workers providing care to Grenfell survivors and others affected by the fire. The Government has established a structure and process that bring together the different parts of the public and voluntary sectors to coordinate and provide the services identified as fundamental to supporting their recovery. This includes emotional as well as rehousing, financial and practical support.
