The damning texts Wales' health minister received over lockdown rules – from her own kids

The pandemic led to hard decisions for everyone and another documentary featuring the Welsh Government has aimed to show the other side of decisions made in Wales – particularly around the Omicron variant.

Gweinidog Iechyd Mewn Pandemig, Health Minister in a Pandemic, was shown on S4C on Monday, March 21. In it, we saw the first meetings of then new-health minister Eluned Morgan. It showed the other side to the discussions about whether rugby players should be exempt from quarantine rules and the Welsh Government's anger towards them as Mrs Morgan demanded they receive no support. You can catch up with that bit of the documentary here.

But another more personal side showed the messages Mrs Morgan's two children when she was deciding whether to close nightclubs. Her daughter, who is a student at an English university, texted her mum saying: "Thanks, my friends hate u now". Mrs Morgan replies "I'm so sorry love".
