Opposition parties launch Senedd bid for a Welsh Covid inquiry

Opposition parties are attempting to create a special purpose Senedd committee to investigate failings in Wales’ Covid response.

Mark Drakeford has faced substantial criticism for over a year about his decision to not hold a Wales specific Covid inquiry despite the fact that Welsh Labour were taking the vast majority of the decision relating to the Covid response in Cymru. The First Minister has instead said that a UK wide Covid inquiry is the best way to get answers.

WalesOnline has previously listed 29 things a Welsh specific inquiry in Covid in Wales would need to look at as well as highlighting the voices of families who lost loved ones from the Covid Bereaved Families for Justice Cymru group. Despite this, the Welsh Government has been steadfast in their refusal to hold an inquiry.
